![]() | Bad Religion - Submission Complete lyrics (written by Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz) Brooks Wakerman joined the band after Bobby had to quit playing the drums forever due to an chronic, progressive shoulder injury, in 2001. When the band found out, they had booked a few weeks of rehearsal studio time and so they were all in LA, without a drummer. Thefore, instead of using that studio time for rehearsals, it became an audition session. The fifth person to try-out for Bobby's position was Brooks, who had been playing with Suicidal Tendencies, and the Vandals for a few years. His family is well-known in the percussion world, his brother Chad is one of only a few drummers to play with Frank Zappa's band. Greg says that Brooks was so good, they only had to hear him play one or two songs before they knew that he was "the best drummer we had ever heard". Greg asked him innocently: "do you WANT to be in Bad Religion, because we need a drummer for touring and recording and to be a part of this band, not just a temporary stand-in for Bobby?" Of course he replied with a big YES. |
![]() | Bad Religion - Progress I think this one is one of the best Bad Religion lyrics i´ve ever seen. So i've just had to put this one for you guys. Hope you like it. The lyrics: "Progress" And progress is not intelligently planned; It's the facade of our heritage, the odor of our land. They speak of Progress, in red, white and blue. It's the structure of the future as demise comes seething through. It's Progress, 'til there's nothing left to gain, As the dearth of new ideas makes us wallow in our shame. So before you go contribute more To the destruction of this world you adore, Remember life on Earth is but a flash of dawn We're all part of it as the day rolls on. And progress is a message that we send. One step closer to the future, one inch closer to the end. I say That progress is a synonym of time. We are all aware of it but it's nothing we refine, And progress is a debt we all must pay. Its convenience we all cherish, its pollution we disdain And the cutting edge is dulling, Too many folks to plow through. Just keep your fucking distance And it can't include you. It's Progress, 'til there's nothing left to gain, it's Progress, it's a message that we send. And progress is a debt we all must pay. |
![]() | Bad Religion - I Want Something More lyrics (written by Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz) Quixotism is the description of a person or an act that is caught up in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals. It also serves to describe an idealism without regard to practicality. An impulsive person or act can be regarded as quixotic. Quixotism is usually related to "over-idealism", meaning an idealism that doesn't take the consequences into account. It is also related to naïve romanticism and to utopianism. |
![]() | Bad Religion - Germs of Perfection lyrics (written by Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz) The Codex Alimentarius (Latin for "food code" or "food book") is a collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations relating to foods, food production and food safety under the aegis of consumer protection. These texts are developed and maintained by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, a body that was established in 1963 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Commission's main aims are stated as being to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the international food trade. The Codex Alimentarius is recognized by the World Trade Organization as an international reference point for the resolution of disputes concerning food safety and consumer protection. The Codex Alimentarius officially covers all foods, whether processed, semi-processed or raw, but far more attention has been given to foods that are marketed directly to consumers. In addition to standards for specific foods, the Codex Alimentarius contains general standards covering matters such as food labeling, food hygiene, food additives and pesticide residues, and procedures for assessing the safety of foods derived from modern biotechnology. It also contains guidelines for the management of official (i.e., governmental) import and export inspection and certification systems for foods. The Codex Alimentarius is published in Arabic, Chinese, English, French and Spanish. Not all texts are available in all languages. The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is an investigation project to "understand, simulate and control ionospheric processes that might alter the performance of communication and surveillance systems." Started in 1993, the project is proposed to last for a period of twenty years.The project is jointly funded by the United States Air Force, the Navy, and the University of Alaska. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) is a multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. It is the world's leading producer of the herbicide glyphosate, marketed as "Roundup". Monsanto is also by far the leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed, holding 70%--100% market share for various crops. Agracetus, owned by Monsanto, exclusively produces Roundup Ready soybean seed for the commercial market. In March 2005, it finalized the purchase of Seminis Inc, making it also the largest conventional seed company in the world. It has over 16,000 employees worldwide, and an annual revenue of US$7.344 billion reported for 2006.[1] Monsanto's development and marketing of genetically engineered seed and bovine growth hormone, as well as its aggressive litigation and political lobbying practices, have made the company controversial around the world and a primary target of the anti-globalization movement and environmental activists. While other chemical and biotech multinationals face similar criticisms, Monsanto tends to be targeted more routinely and more strongly. An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radiowaves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader. Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a (RF) signal, and other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. A technology called chipless RFID allows for discrete identification of tags without an integrated circuit, thereby allowing tags to be printed directly onto assets at a lower cost than traditional tags. Today, a significant thrust in RFID use is in enterprise supply chain management, improving the efficiency of inventory tracking and management. However, a threat is looming that the current growth and adoption in enterprise supply chain market will not be sustainable. A fair cost-sharing mechanism, rational motives and justified returns from RFID technology investments are the key ingredients to achieve long-term and sustainable RFID technology adoption [1]. |
![]() | Bad Religion - God Song lyrics (words and music by Greg Graffin) Against the Grain is the fifth album (and seventh release overall) by punk rock band Bad Religion released on November 23, 1990.[1] This is the last album recorded with drummer Pete Finestone who left in 1991 to concentrate with The Fishermen and was replaced by the next drummer Bobby Schayer shortly before their 6th release, Generator. Along with the last two albums (1988's Suffer and 1989's No Control), Against the Grain is considered by many to be the band's greatest album, and it contains many songs that are constantly cited as the band's best, including "21st Century (Digital Boy)", "Anesthesia," "Walk Away," and "Modern Man."[citation needed] More than just an influentual album, Against The Grain gave many punk fans and many punk bands hope for the survival of punk in the 90s. Like Bad Religion's albums up to Generator, Against the Grain was remastered on April 6, 2004. The 1990 original version is now out of print. Against the Grain also marks the 10th anniversary of Bad Religion playing together after their formation. Some parts by G. Graffin from the book 'is belief in God, good, bad or irrelevant?

'My religion, wich is of course as yet undefined and totally unpopular, accepts morality as a set of prescribed rules that came not from an supernatural being and his mysterious wisdom, but rather came from a recognition of human behavior. We humans can recognize our own behavior and we can codify it. We are smart beings who can characterize good and bad behavior and relate it to how it makes us feel(good or bad).'

![]() | Bad Religion - It's Only Over When You Give Up lyrics (written by Greg Graffin) In 1983 they were getting disillusioned with the punk scene, because it wasn't as open and accepting as in 1980. According to Greg, around late 1982 it started to get a gang mentality; so since the scene let them down, they in turn (Greg thinks in retrospect) let the scene down too, by going into the studio and doing a record they just wanted to do, without worrying about the constraints of their style, and not worrying about the marketing. The album was perceived by many to be responsible for the destruction of the SoCal punk scene, and Bad Religion was a pariah because of it. It had 10,000 copies pressed. Jay said they were almost all returned, including one bootleg (they gave him his money back too). After they were returned, they put them in the Bomp warehouse (Brett worked there for a bit and was dating a girl from there called Suzi Shaw). Bomp sold most of the albums without telling the band. When they found out, they stopped it and Jay said only about 300 copies were left at that time (which he still kept in his garage in the late 90s and probably to this day). Suzy Shaw wrote a letter to Goldmine magazine about how she sold copies from the Bomp warehouse after Brett lived with her for a year without paying for anything, so she thought she had every right to do it. She was quite critical of Jay saying 9,700 copies were sold. She says it was like 2,000. |
![]() | Bad Religion - Dearly Beloved lyrics (written by Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz) New Maps of Hell is Bad Religion's fourteenth full-length studio album (twentieth release overall), which was released on July 10, 2007. It celebrates the 25th anniversary of their first album How Could Hell Be Any Worse?, although the band had been around for twenty-seven years. The title is somewhat of a departure for the band as well, as most albums also share a name with one of the songs in the album, except How Could Hell Be Any Worse?, Into the Unknown, and The Process of Belief, which are named from lyrics within songs. The title may refer to a book on Science Fiction history by Kingsley Amis published in 1961 (see here). Guitarist Brett Gurewitz stated "We all liked the concept of maps, because we are exploring new material on this record, both musically and topically."[1] Bad Religion's follow-up to 2004's The Empire Strikes First was originally intended to be a double album to be released in 2006, but this idea was turned down by bassist Jay Bentley. Due to the band's ongoing support with their previous release, the album was put on hold until 2007. Another one of the reasons why the band had yet to release a follow-up to The Empire Strikes First was their various other activities, most obviously frontman Greg Graffin's, who released one solo album in 2006. |
![]() | Bad Religion - Modern Man lyrics (words and music by Greg Graffin) 'The human species can change its own nature. What will it choose?(E.O. Wilson, biologist;1978) In biology, evolution is a change in the inherited traits of a population from one generation to the next. This process causes populations of organisms to change over time. Inherited traits are the expression of genes that are passed on to offspring during reproduction. Mutations in genes can produce new or altered traits, resulting in the appearance of heritable differences between organisms. Such new traits also come from the transfer of genes between populations, as in migration, or between species, in horizontal gene transfer. Evolution occurs when these heritable differences become more common or rare in a population, either non-randomly through natural selection or randomly through genetic drift. Some parts by G. Graffin from the book 'is belief in God, good, bad or irrelevant? 'Human knowledge is created by a collective of workers in all sorts of fields. Neurobiology is one of the newer fields of inquiry.

'The facts of naturalism are too powerful for people to ignore, but they haven't had time, or haven't had the need to think deeply about how that conflicts with the tenets and implications of traditional theology' Greg Graffin; 'Many christian beliefs don't "work" at all. I saw a lecture last week by a very good paleontologist from an Ivy League university. I admire his bravery, although when someone is brave for a lost cause, all I can admire is the bravery. He started outright that he is a theist and believes all of evolution is driven by "God's love." At the end of the lecture I promptly said, in front of the entire audience, "That explanation of evolution doesn't acknowledge all the data. It ignores all the suffering from biological agents: predation, infection, starvation, psychological maladies of humans, etc. How, by any stretch of the imagination, can you convince us that this has anything to do with 'love'?" Of course his answer, basically, was, "The ways of God are mysterious and human suffering is a 'big' question." (Is belief in God, good, bad or irrelevant) |
![]() | Bad Religion - Victory lyrics (words and music by Greg Graffin) Greg started writing songs for The Gray Race while still touring (as usual), and by the end of the tour the album was pretty much finished, although he continued the process back home in Ithaca (he has a studio in his home). He sent preliminary versions of the songs to the other band members to know their opinions (which he didn't do with the previous records) and then Brian and Bobby joined him to play them for the first time and build on them. Greg said that ultimately made a huge difference in the quality of the songs. Greg said that he and the band were bored of the sound of the guitars on albums previous. Especially they wanted to really refine Bobby's drums so that it didn't conflict with the guitars. He emphasized the fact that the trademark click pedal drumming is more subdued in The Gray Race than on previous Epitaph recordings. They recorded it in New York's Greenwich Village and the famed Electric Lady Studios (set up by Jimi Hendrix), on West 8th Street (it was their first studio work outside of L.A. and Jay explained on 120 Minutes that it was also the first time they had all been able to fit in one studio for years). Released on 2.26.1996. There used to be a commercial regarding The Gray Race on MTV. The sleeve of the Punk Rock Song single is a drawing of a boy and a man who have just shot a deer. At first they wanted this to be the sleeve for The Gray Race. They wanted to get a real picture of a deer and a guy in the middle of Times Square. When TGR came out, in the UK they made a CD with A Walk, Punk Rock Song, Streets of America and The Gray Race (so they had decided all the singles at an early stage) HaveNotsandHasBeens;only problem i have with this video is "it erups from deep inside" should be erupts but the video is good and the song is, of course fantastic so whatever Thanks for correcting! |
