Interpret:

Bad Religion

Album:

True North

I'll strike it if I don't like it
Gimme a club and I will have myself a riot
I'm a monkey with a brick on my shoulder
And I'm getting bolder


Let's deny and defame
Let's destroy and recreate in our glorious name,
And when the joke of our centrality is upon us,
Grovel and decry


Our vanity
Disgraced to face our own humanity,
In a world that mocks our tragedy


Hyper-aware and impaired
Terrified by nature's mocking stare
Yearning for significance beyond our animal ken,
On which we do depend


Such vanity
Isolated with our own inanity
Entangled by our callow gravity
Disgraced to face our own humanity
