empty causes

bad religion

everwhere you looked there was confusion

violence

drama and drugs

so many righteous revolutionaries spouting utopian love

everyone shrouded in purple haze

then one day they woke up from their dream state

they found themselves no more at peace than before

older

meek

and conformed

empty causes

a bluster for the soul

a fix for their mind

empty causes

cling to everything you find

well

the shots rang out like popcorn

and the chief was hit and rushed out of sight

the mohawk-chain

leather brigade rejoiced maliciously on that night

someone cried out fuck the government"
