Bad Religion - Portait Of Authority Lyrics

Love it

The best album of the Bad Religion!

No fucking way dude!!! Not even close ...

I love this song! It's one of my favorites and one of the most underrated Bad Religion songs.

4 5 years ago i would always be here love br got to see then on my 50th

The worst bass line in history

This song is relatable even today, it was recorded in the 90's very good job bad religion, the guitar solo kills at the end too

lol... did not shoot deputi

Nothing more, nothing less,
An icon on the wall, decoration and duress,
That which many strive to be,
It's the marble statue staring over me,
And nobody has the will to tear it down,
it determines wrong and right,
but to me it's just a stereotype
and it makes us lose our sight.

The portrait of authority (portrait of authority),
You tell me that's what I'm supposed to be (portrait of authority),
You tell me that's what I'm supposed to be.

Another time, another man,
An oppressive intrusion
And a plague across his land,
And it haunts him every day,
It tells him that he has no chance
His hope just fades away,
And he lives his life prepared to tear it down,
But he can't muster the support,
And to him it's just a stereotype
Of his life-long fight.

The portrait of authority (portrait of authority),
It embodies what he cannot be (portrait of authority),
It's what he cannot be.
The portrait of authority (portrait of authority),
Portrait of authority.

recipe for hate is an underrated album. some people say it's country because of the use of slide guitar but only one song incorporates slide guitar

+Marvin Thompson as a kid, I discovered Bad Religion with Recipe For Hate, and it was killer than and it is now.

Marvin Thompson it's one of my favorites

It's growing on me. I used to only like American Jesus but the more I listen to the whole album the more I love it.

This album is ok , I like Suffer, no control, generator, 80-85, against the grain better than this album ... basically everything before this album is better than this album

Country ? Wtf ??🤨

this song change mu life when i first listen to it

It sure didn't enthuse you to fix your grammar from now on...

For some reason, this video has the song a pitch higher or so than the version I have. Listen to the full album link, and check out this song there. Its different

Thank you!! I was going crazy thinking there's something wrong with my speakers XD XD

you tell me that's what I'm supposed to be!!!!

West coast punk.. very different from Ramones

It's much more anti athoritarian
