Bad Religion - Victory Lyrics






The velveteen and oaken fixture soothed the lonely child
The parents watched the escort take him while they stood outside
The priest was kind and gentle as he positioned his head
The pain was like brimstone, but the kid hardly bled

Victory
Instinct over intellect
Victory
It erupts from deep inside
History
History is laughing at us
Plotting its discovery
Victory, victory
Blame it on the victory

Among the parade crowd there stands a decorated man
Remembering how he helped to save this sacred land
His helpless enemy was wounded, both hands raised with hope
He killed him without second thought, with brute force and a rope

So many times, so many lives
Test the other side
Waiting to see what the maker has in mind

The unsuspecting commoners hum diligent each day
They wallow in their father's sins, as time passes away
The crimes are without motive but they ignore all restraint
The evil sits inside them torpid timing its escape

    I also scored high. Thanks Bad Religion!

  15. X.... ....

    @bowlsallbroken
    Ooh! And on top of that, I came across a Bad Religion word on my SAT. I scored pretty high, too! =D

  16. X.... ....

    @bowlsallbroken
    Hahaha! I believe you! I remember being fourteen and sitting on my bedroom floor, listening to BR with lyrics and a dictionary.
    Ah, good times.

  17. b.... ....

    @XxEmoSoapxX

    I used BR to prep for the SATs, double checking any words in their lyrics I didn't absolutely know. I'm not kidding.

  18. X.... ....

    @JonOlie That's a good one. =D
    I can just picture the cheesy infomercial-like testimonial we'd all make: "Thank you, Bad Religion!"

  19. J.... ....

    @XxEmoSoapxX i agree. you should read the lyrics for "The Positive Aspect of Negative Thinking" from Against The Grain.

  20. X.... ....

    Hahaha, a Bad Religion album really is a vocabulary lesson on a CD! :)
    In my junior year of high school, I would highlight all the vocabulary words I had that were in BR songs (there were a ton of them!). Needless to say, I scored 100% on just about every vocabulary quiz that year. =D (Haha, since everyone seems to be talking about the big words, I just thought I'd share, too.)

  21. y.... ....

    I concur; listening to BR is a superlative mode for ascertaining a stupendous vocabulary

  22. r.... c....

    monday spirit to get a victory..

  23. S.... G....

    @DanBell47 BR Forever!!!!!! just perfect!!

    Blame it on the victory!
