Lyrics:
Papa had a wife and kids he kept them on a leash and he bid them all to do his every deed.
When he was a kid he was treated just the same so he hid his feelings from the family.
Lost as an island out at sea, resistant to the gentle waves of empathy.

Papa and his family always on parade. Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade.
But time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell.
What they created was a family story no one will tell. It's a photo album too terrible. But the
pride and the pallor continue to swell. And the matron silently prays.

Junior resented the tradition they upheld and it ate him up inside most every day.
Silence was golden and they kept him to his word. So bewildered when he finally ran away.
Oh, obligations never cease. Oblivious of the ways to give his soul some peace.

Yeah, Papa and his family always on parade. Passing through the turnstiles, a weekender's
charade. But time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell.
What they created was a family story no one will tell. It's a photo album too terrible. But the
pride and the pallor continue to swell. And the matron silently prays.

"Get me out of here, someone's got to save the day." The children are reminded to do it for the
daddy's sake. And happiness is ever so far, far away.

Yeah, lost as an island out at sea. Resistant to the gentle waves of empathy.
Papa and his family always on parade. Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade.
It's just a sick calamity that fatherhood made, but time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell.
What they created was a family story no one will tell. It's a photo album too terrible. Still, the
pride and the pallor continue to swell as the matron silently prays.

did you put up these lyrics yourself or did you get them from the CD 'cause I can't help noticing minor anomalies...

[Nunibomb]

@501stlegionnaire I done them by ear so yeah there is probably a lot of anomalies

[MrEnzian]

[shroom248]

bad religion can do no wrong in my eyes

[Nazuiko]

@Nunibomb I think its "for their daddy's sake" and "As the matron silently prays", at least in the refrain prior to the second verse.

@WolfeFour no social distortion reminds you of bad religion

[rawrglar]

@fumpig I was always under the assumption that the song is about the new younger generation resenting the old-time traditions (religious fundamentalism) which are upheld by their stubborn indoctronized fathers.

"Just a sick calamity that fatherhood made, but time will tell as the world crumbles to hell."

They really should have made a video for this song. There should just be a channel on TV for free that just has Bad Religion playing all the time actually. OK I'm kind of high right now.

[WolfeFour]

lol this kind of reminds me of Social Distortion

[fumpig]

i read something aubout that song. someone meant, that it is about an alcoholic father and the effects to the family. but don't think this is the point. i think it is just about an asshole-dad. whether alcoholic or not. just a problem-person. psycotic deseases can cause horror-family too. and all that with the same symptoms.

sorry for my bad english. i'm from germany. greetings
