Bad Religion - Who We Are Lyrics
It's cold again, it looks like rain.
A procession of humanity, strikingly simian,
Saunters by, I can't explain
Why it's troubling to see them so.
And yearning for and learning from,
Better than holiness and candy aisles
Of loneliness and sweet revenge.
A cigarette, a memory,
All connections to the permanent are burning.
The pedestal gets in the way
And cannot withstand our honest scrutiny.
Better than who we are with mania
Better than holiness and candy aisles
Of loneliness and sweet revenge.
Do you feel the chill of December
In the rioting of Spring?
And are we made of something better than clay?
A leap, a fight, a secret rite,
The lonely quest for meaning and the universe is dreaming.
Better than who we are with mania
And yearning for and learning from,
Better than holiness and candy aisles
Of loneliness and sweet revenge.
Oh, sweet revenge...

Terrible
Just a pure,Brilliant job you did with this video. If there was a shred of Justice in this world,your tuition would be zeroed out on grounds of this little "Art-Project" alone. :) ;)
This video is just so good. Some a bit on the nose references but have always loved the trigger in then out and gun drop sequence. Amazing work.
Beautifully written once again, BR never disappoints! Satisfied.
Such a great song
god song,no direction,don't pray on me,news from the front,kyoto now!,sowing the seeds of utopia

who we are
It became some sort of a habit that I try and watch this on my birthdays. Today I'm 31. The music and the video still means the same to me as they meant several years ago when I first saw it. Ageless.
en el dizko ezta este tema ezta buenizimo
you know it's old when there's a myspace link in the description
very good work my friend
Temazoooo mennnn
best BR song
This along with the other BR track on punkorama 8 put me onto their legacy. I haven't looked back since.
1:52 Sometimes Jay's bass fills give me heart palpitations.
+Queef he does that very good
is this the guy from shameless??
Haha. Asshat. I was thinking the same thing about a child finding the gun however this is a good video, but it looks like someone other than bad religion made this. Good job though.
Yes, Atheist.... Only human, alone in the Universe....
Nice job with the video
I think you missed the point. He was going to kill himself and chose to discard the IDEA. Leaving the gun behind was symbolic. Plus, we can always make more children.(;
I love Bad Region... but seriously... that asshat just leaves a loaded gun in a field where anyone could find it? Say a child comes across it... boom! That kid is dead! He should have unloaded it then left the gun in an area nobody could find it.
just don't take it that serious
What if he only chambered one round for the suicide? At least i thought it looked like he pulled the trigger and it was a dud round and he took that as a sign and walked away. 2 of my friends commited suicide so that shit kinda struck reality when i found this vid
What if it was only a BBC gun and he didn't know it
It's a bb gun
punk o rama 6
nice video... +10
17 sec. de rien...trop pourri !
It's cold again, it looks like rain
A procession of humanity, strikingly simian
Saunters by, I can't explain
Why it's troubling to see them so
Oh better than who we are with mania
And yearning for and learning from
Oh better than holiness and candy aisles
Of loneliness and sweet revenge
A cigarette, a memory
All connections to the permanent are burning
The pedestal gets in the way
And cannot withstand our honest scrutiny
Oh better than who we are with mania
Or standing for or dead against
Oh better than holiness and candy aisles
Of loneliness and sweet revenge
The video is awesome, good job!!!
Awesome
How was this song ever a B side? It is comfortably in my top 5 BR songs ever.. and that is an illustrious top 5!
This song rocks and meaningful to me....plus Brooks is the best drummer.
Nice video!!!....someone know, when BR released this song??"
Buen video amigo!!..alguien sabe cuando BR lanzó esta canción??
It was released on punk o Rama 6. Surprisingly this song is easily accessible
Like this song so much
great job!
"Materialist" or "Kyoto Now"
Does it HAVE to take half an enterny to start?
Anyone have any songs in mind by Bad Religion that are like the song "We're Going To Die From Our Own Arrogance?"
justice 5150 part 111
Dang its only been 4 years since I found Bad Religion. Still listening to em constantly, wish I could listen to their discography again for the "first' time
tolles video !!!!
The protagonist kind of looks like a younger Jay Bentley.
Que buen tema y excelente la edición del vídeo, saludos.
I love this.
espetacular esse som...punk californiano Bad religion
Da hora!
Could I suggest that if you don't have the budget for true replicas of weapons, go with painted airsoft next time. The BB gun handgun is the only part of the video that really jumped out at me. Airsoft looks far more realistic and with some editing can be indistinguishable in shorter cuts. Other than that, I liked it alot!
MUYYY BUENOO
Haha, thanks
no words, its amazing
funny how catholic people were rebels 2000 years before you were. They probably just think you are a poser and thats why they hate
TEL ME ABOUT IT
I'd love to hear this song live.
P.U.N.K! Public United Not Katholic!
I love you people who keep me from wastin my time :-D
My goodness, how this song didnt make it to the actual albums is beyond me.
Nicely done
who cares about the pentagrams?
Have you sent this to the Bad Religion dudes? I think they'd totally love it. It's amazing. And of course, the song is one of my favourites too.
so fantastic
Beautifull :')
@Lordoftheflies234 it was a single off of one of the punk-o-ramas (i think it was #8)
Which album?
Was this on any official studio album? I got 7 of them, but never heard this song... are there more unreleased songs I should know of? pls respond =)
Fucking great vid to!
What album is this?
Fui a seu xou em Brasília! Foi um dos miores qe ja fui! PORRA!
I went to their show in Brasilia! It was one of the best ones I've ever gone! FUCK!
Lol a bb gun :p BTW awesome song
I've owned this song for a few years, but all of a sudden I've been singing the chorus for the last 8 hours.
This is actually a david bowie song I think.
it'd be funny if at 3:01 the guy tripped over and hit his head on a rock and died
muy bueno!!
@TheRealFloggingMolly Interesting question; I suspect it was produced exclusively as a single - either not intended for, or being cut from, an album. I can't find info. on it anywhere. Also I wonder who wrote the lyrics but my guess would be Graffin.
Whats the name of the Album this song is from?
I have known this song for years now but I just realized the hawtness of the bass in the bridge.
lol that was a BB gun :3
@tsloberer BE QUIET OR BE KILLED!
@SticksTheFish47 i would start with the album Suffer then Against the Grain and No Control... all BR is pretty good but any real fan has these 3 memorized.
thank you for no answers.
Very well done, it fit the song perfectly. I didn't see that you had made it, and thought it was a professional shot video. Great job!
0:18 to skip the intro
this is hardcore to me, they dont need to scream or any other crpa like that to let out their hardcore/ punk roots,
nice video man! well done!
@patrickai it is on a punk-o-rama album along with shattered faith, maybe their best song ever.
I'd like to know what the class subject was(my guess is it was some kind of sociology or humanities) - and if the assignment was pass/fail or by grade. I'd suppose this passed with at least a high C or better. I like this. Was that Graffin or an other band member's face from 1:30 on? Seems like some of this might've come from a preceding video. Plus I think alucardisdumb thinks this is official BR product... people(I, too) should read the Upload descriptions more, particularly before commenting.
FUCKING MASTERPIECE
this is pretty awful,why would they make this,and in front of my wife. =/
do they sound like this all the time?
First related video: Ke$ha- who we r
fuck fuck fuck fuck.
I officially have no more respect for society.
WHAT ALBUM IS THIS OFF!!!! i have all their albums.. well at least i thought i did! always loved this song.. but no album..
@rakijaboy No
@2Grobie I agree but... only the Ramones are better ;-)
@cockercane thanks
@loard14 I have to admit, that is one of the best thumbs down explanations I have read. Good work!
BR have a bad habit of burying some of their best work as B-sides and export-only tracks. This is easily one of my favorite post-holy trinity BR songs. The songwriting and frenetic performance are top notch.
This video is great, btw. I've been watching it once in a while for at least a couple of years now.
the pope voted 26 times
Gran banda, gran tema, buen video
BEST BAND EVER !!!!! Such prolific lyrics.............Anyone else a bit upset at there new album? but an album like "into the unknown" is fucking genius "hippy like album" especially after such punk albums as Bad Religion and How could hell be any worse......................... God damn...................................
one of their best songs
I own a pellet gun just like the one in the video haha. Great video dude. And the song is kickass, of course.
im hitting the "like" button tons of times so other people could hear this!and because its my favorite song
Amazing editing, you did a great job on this.
that's some badass guitar riff!
1:40 DON'T SHOOT MY WEINER!
@ermacrain442
The song is amazing, but the video is poor...
They are the greatest, but they always had the dumbest vdeos,
and I say this as a big fan :I
