Bad Religion - Inner Logic (Live)

A rare live audio of BRs Inner Logic from 1994 release Stranger Than Fiction dubbed to footage of the band performing live. One of my favourite songs - I don't know why they don't play it live, it's better than some of the songs that they play show in, show out.

Make sure to sign and suport the petition to re release Into The Unknown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Vw2KdNek4

Lyrics:

automatons with business suits clinging black boxes,
sequestering the blueprints of daily life
contented, free of care, they rejoice in morning ritual
as they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky

I don't ask questions, don't promote demonstrations,
don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution
if I pierce the complexity I won't find salvation
just the bald and over truth
of the evil and deception

there is an inner logic,
and we're taught to stay far from it
it is simple and elegant,
but it's cruel and antithetic
and there's no effort to reveal it

graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos
in sagacious dialog they despise their average ways
displaying pomp and discipline, they mold their institution
where they practice exclusion on the masses every day

decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavement
simulating tyranny under red alert
protecting the opulent and staging moral standard
they expect redemption of character and self-growth

(no equality, no opportunity,
no tolerance for the progressive alternative...)

you should have just uploaded the audio instead of attaching a video that's blatantly not that song

@bedtimefordemocracy You can give me advice when your videos average higher than 90 views.

I guess MTV was better back then, but honestly I think it would have been better if they didn't go on the show. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Bad Religion, but I think in that whole period of time when they were on Atlantic Records the only good thing that happened was the album Stranger Than Fiction. But anyways, other than when they were on Atlantic, I completely respect everything they've done in the career, including Into the Unknown, that needs to be re released.

[BringBRToTheUK]

Totally disagree - No Substance and New America definately are below the rest of the BR albums on quality but Stranger Than Fiction and The Gray Race are as good and perhaps better than some of the releases on Epitaph.

Yes you're right it does need to be re released ;) cheers for your signature on the petition by the way.

they played this in chicago april 2003. couldnt tell if it was a trainwreck or not. this shows it to be a semi trainwreck. but stillgood! baker's vocals in pre-chorus kinda ruin it

[BringBRToTheUK]

Is it Bakers? Sometimes the back up ruins the song live. Especially in Sorrow, I think it's Jay in that song.

Good old BR

[Iamkl132]

Awesome song.

@BringBRToTheUK I'm not posting videos of bands that were/are on Atlantic records and Epitaph records, hence your view count jackass

@BringBRToTheUK I agree that the STF and TGR were great albums. Although No Substance was "below par," I think that the song writing on New America went in another direction, which I really enjoy. I think that the album was written by a band that new that they were at a crossroads along with Greg G that personally was at crossroads. The result is great songs like a Whisper in Time. Also, looking back, I am surprised that Greg H and Brian Baker weren't used more for songwriting.

Roll the credits for "Crazy Taxi"!

The fact is that live presentations are always horrible. The studio version is blocked by copyright ajatollahs.

@BringBRToTheUK Sonisphere man! :D

[jeddahcuzz]

the lyrics to this jam are my scripture of belief towards our government.

[ash0ppingcart]

Holy crap, they played this song live!!!

[megenthal]

one of the best songs on stf along with better off dead, the handshake, infected and the title track. great record but probably the fifth or sixth best br record or so. thats how good this band is.
