it must look pretty appealing

Singer:bad religion

the wheat waving next to you is healthy and so fine

as is dinner with your loved ones every day. but your routine is changeless through the decades of your life

green pastures

open spaces

holy ways. and it must look pretty appealing

the acres of might

the crowded festive nights

and the millions of others just like you. yeah

it must look pretty appealing

this other world of sin. we keep dreaming of what other people do. the person sitting next to you is dismal and deranged

on the bus ride home from work to end your day. and the food on your table is more plastic than protein

and your intellect depends on your tv. and it must look pretty appealing

the pastoral retreat

the pastoral retreat

and the few pleasant people just like you. yeah

it must look pretty appealing

the simple way of life. we keep dreaming of what other people do. but we never do what other people do. you're too scared of other people not like you.
