Bad Religion - Pride And The Pallor Lyrics
Papa had a wife and kids he kept them on a leash and he bid them all to do his every deed
When he was a kid he was treated just the same so he hid his feelings from his family
Lost as an island out at sea, resistant to the gentle waves of empathy
Papa and his family always on parade
But time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell
What they created was a family story no one will tell
It's a photo album too terrible
But the pride and the pallor continue to swell as the matron silently prays
Junior resented the tradition they upheld and it ate him up inside most every day
Silence was golden and they kept him to his word
So bewildered when he finally ran away
Oh, obligations never cease
Yeah, papa and his family always on parade
Passing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade
But time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell
What they created was a family story no one will tell
It's a photo album too terrible
But the pride and the pallor continue to swell as the matron silently prays
"Get me out of here, someone's got to save the day."
The children are reminded to do it for the daddy's sake
And happiness is ever so far, far away.
Yeah, lost as an island out at sea, resistant to the gentle waves of empathy
Papa and his family always on parade
Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade
It's just a sick calamity that fatherhood made, but time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell
What they created was a family story no one will tell
It's a photo album too terrible
But the pride and the pallor continue to swell as the matron silently prays

Bad Religion Pride And The Pallor Comments
HOW I FEEL DEEPLY ABOUT MY FAMILY
what the fuck is this comment section
Another masterpiece! I bet it tells the story of many families all around the world.
Well written song 👌
The first 182 seconds is 100% pure Bad Religion.
Good night friends a melhor banda de hardcore de todos os tempos!
Prison Bound?
after i become an athiest bad religion seems so legit
mohamed bourerga exactly how i feel
Super piosenka pomogła wyjść mojej rodzinie z raka :)
the first 12 seconds is 100% pure Social Distortion.
Don't speak such herecy
Thanks for the info.
Newbie question here: is Bad Religion an atheist band(all of the members)?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Religion#Religion
It's never too late to learn!
I think not cause BR don't represent a religious stance. If I am correct Graffin and Bentley are atheists, Baker, Bobby, Peter, Hetson and Brett Christians and agnostics
it's great and all but why did Bad Religion write a song about my dad
Two Games Joined same with my dad.
Lol...yeah, I love Bad Religion, but Greg Graffin's not the most clear enunciator XD
dude relax I was just trying to help, not every comment on Youtube is about dissin' and trashing someone you know?
Burdie Birdie im dissin him
I don't know about you guys but this is my most favorite song in the album
I love it, but my favorite on this album is Only Rain
Vaguely maybe
Does the begining remind you of prison bound by Social distortion? :P
Correct
It's the same progression.
music is the best drug on the world :D
@Nunibomb I think its "for their daddy's sake" and "As the matron silently prays", at least in the refrain prior to the second verse.
@WolfeFour no social distortion reminds you of bad religion
@fumpig I was always under the assumption that the song is about the new younger generation resenting the old-time traditions (religious fundamentalism) which are upheld by their stubborn indoctronized fathers.
"Just a sick calamity that fatherhood made, but time will tell as the world crumbles to hell."
Adam Gordon I believe its referring to how alcoholism can affect the children of the alcoholic amd casue them too to become alcoholics themselves. therefore continuing the cycle
They really should have made a video for this song. There should just be a channel on TV for free that just has Bad Religion playing all the time actually. OK I'm kind of high right now.
did you put up these lyrics yourself or did you get them from the CD 'cause I can't help noticing minor anomalies...
KeKeKeKeKe Badreligion rush.
kekekee^^
And again a new great Bad Religion album LOVE IT!!
