Since Now - Bad Religion

To believe that things were really all right?

Since when were the qualities of wisdom and knowledge (Since when?)

Equivalent to mere facts online?

Yeah

Since when were the virtues of character and content (Since when?)

More than just a popularity game?

Since when was the protocol of rational judgment not the same as blame?

Since now

It’s fucked up beyond all recognition

Just a symptom of the time (Since now)

You might call it modern cognition without a reason or rhyme

Since when was the platitude of honorable mention (Since when?) Only a dishonor

to behold?

Since when was being second only first among the losers just the same as

getting old?

Since now

It’s natural to feel unlucky

Too many winners spoil the prize (Since now)

So if you are on the bottom don’t you cry

Since when was history just a futile mission (Since when?)

Without a context to reveal?

Since when was lacking sense of place or social purpose the new deal?

Since now

It’s fucked up beyond all recognition, just a symptom of the time (Since now)

You might call it cognition but don’t ask why

Ask since when
