The Surface Of Me

The Surface Of Me

Bad Religion
(album: The Empire Strikes First)

Oh yeah!
A study of history reveals an unflagging appeal to mystery
You talk about abstraction at the top of the list
But you might as well get pissed, cause in me the essence does not exist, no-oh-oh
Yeah yeah!
You�re so shallow
How can your romance hope to be the veil of an ersatz human nature
That can pacify but never slept well when there�s the pretension of living a lie

Take me as I am, judge me for my crimes
I can say I�ll behave freely all the time
You can predict what I�ll say, it�s in my DNA
But soon I�ll be a catalogue number anyway

So say a little prayer
Convince yourself that someone cares
All I am is what you see
