Bad Religion - Too Much to Ask

Slideshow with lyrics.

A refreshing plunge
A drink of palatable water
A deep inspiration on a warm summer day
A safe stroll in a middle of the road community
A neighbor who in times of need will not turn away

I ain't no politician
I am a citizen
And I wonder if I'm living too far out of bounds

Community protection
Rehabilitation
Police that serve without legitimate right to maim
Global awareness
Ecological guilt
Cultural and environmental awakening

I ain't no optimist
I try to be a realist
And I think we are living too far out of bounds

Is it too much to ask?
Could it be the earth is shrinking?
I can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore

Remote control
Three cars for every family
Corruption at the expense of the simple majority
A violent clash
A plunder of the third world
Any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy

I ain't no blind supporter
I'm a conscious citizen
And I know that we are living too far out of bounds

Is it too much to ask?
Can we keep the earth from sinking?
I can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore
(You better not take it for granted anymore)
I'm not taking nothing for granted anymore

I'm getting this album tomorrow, is it as good as No Control/Suffer? So far it sounds amazing

[Stynkkeli]

@jamesbullet55 It's considerably less straight-forward and less 'hardcore' than Suffer and No Control. The album has higher production values and longer songs with a more experimental approach. Whether it's as good as the two just depends on preference.
