Bad Religion - Give You Nothing (+lyrics)

One of the best songs of Bad Religion

Hey, everybody's looking but they never can see
All the angst, corruption and the dishonesty
Think about the times and places you've never known
You're a manswarm atom and yet you're alone
So I give you me
I give you nothing!

So you've got a place that you can call your own
But you make a habit of carrying the stone
Look around and ask someone if you're alive
You're a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive
So I give you me
I give you nothing!

Respectable, despicable it seems all the same
Now we realize that we have nothing to say
If you're reserve is weak
Audacity complete
Ask yourself again "do I deserve much from them?"
No!

"You're a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive"

amazing.

cipher= a person or thing of no importance

prion= "A disease-causing agent that is neither bacterial nor fungal nor viral and contains no genetic material. A prion is a protein that occurs normally in a harmless form. By folding into an aberrant shape, the normal prion turns into a rogue agent. It then coopts other normal prions to become rogue prions."

Jive= to talk/mislead

awesome.

@TheSidewalkCipher "Habit of carrying the stone" means that one has to carry the burden of others. "Place you can call your own" The line before says that there is a person who calls himself independent, yet has other people being dependent on him defeating the purpose.

A "Manswarm Atom" describes the medeocrity of the men and how common they are (atoms are everywhere)

@roginskicc09

thank you. i've been listening to bad religion since 1989, and that is the best break down i've ever heard. i thought i was savy and smart because i learned misanthropic from them. you, sir, deserve a bow. my hat off to you.

Everybody is looking, but they never can see.

I've always thought that was one of their deepest lines. Given that its Bad Religion, that is saying a while lot.
