Bad Religion - 'Do The Paranoid Style'

"Do The Paranoid Style" by Bad Religion from the album 'Age of Unreason,' available now

Directed/Edited by Dan Fusselman

Lyrics

Hey let's jump around to the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Hey get upside down to the American sound of the paranoid style

Everybody have you heard the news the old dance with wicked moves
It’s been around for many a year so polish up your granddad's gear and
Shake shake shake with fear waive your rights like you just don’t care
Anyone can do it - it’s easy if you dare
It's the paranoid style in American politics Casey Jones you better watch your apocalypse
Illumination and fluoridation are communist plots against the population

Hey let's jump around to the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Hey get upside down to the American sound of the paranoid style

Hey kids on the right and left do you feel dispossessed
If you're on the left or right I feel your pain tonight
So shake off reality it's easy as you please soon everyone is dancing con-spir-a-tor-i-a-lly
It's the paranoid style in American politics Casey Jones you better watch your apocalypse
All kinds of wild interpretation are open to the paranoid imagination

Hey let's jump around to the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Hey get upside down to the American sound of the paranoid style

I'm a professor and this semester, I'm teaching a class on conspiracy theories and misinformation. We're covering Hofstadter's "The Paranoid Style in American Politics" this week and I played this for my class to start today! They loved it.

[MuhammadW]

Gregg's voice is still good and doesn't change. Perfect.

[bowlsallbroken]

Shake! Shake! Shake with fear!
Waive your rights like you just don't care!

This is fire, boys.

[mr.static]

13 years old and I love this band I've been listening to them for 4 years

[rooseveltmanor]

I love it when Bad Religion writes in the Darker sound and style. To me, they sound the best that way.

[esukyd]

This album is a great return to form! Bad Religion 4 -eva!!!!

[Billy_Gnosis]

1:17 SHAMOW! It ain’t no Watcho, Sickow, or Ya Hey, but I can vibe with it.

[Silverchord]

Bad religion is never a disappointment!

[BadReligionTinaKiwi]

Best. Day. Ever. Thank you so much Bad Religion and Epitaph Records.❤️🤘

[nicholascarbone]

YES! SHAMOW! Ya'll never get old or boring. Still have the same energy! I definitely want to see this one live.

[smokeyarmstrong]

I just turned 106 years old. This song makes me want to move my hips like I used to do when I heard The Big Bopper and Guy Lombardo.

[pierremaggi]

When I saw the video being only 1:45, I thought it was only a teaser. But then I realised it's twice as long as the opening of No Control

[fromthedumpstertothegrave]

Thought the Kids are Alt-Right was mediocre at best... Then this came out. By god these guys still know how to make a damn fine tune! Waive your rights like you just don't care! is going down as one of my fave BR lyrics in a while.

[DrRauen]

So many references. This is why I love BR lyrics.

[ScarsUnseen]

Been a fan of these guys for over 20 years and this is honestly one of my favorite songs by them. This song is fucking catchy and aggressive.

Graffin's modern take on the philosophical pondering of historian Richard Hofstadter is as relevant and thought provoking as his musings on Henry Miller's works were back in 1988 with the release of "Suffer". For those of you who have not read "Tropic of Cancer" and "Tropic of Capricorn" do yourselves a favor and do so forthwith, it will greatly impact your insight into Greg Graffin's lyrical and poetic genius!

[QRandS]

Really loving the new stuff so far. Been a fan for so long, and no disappointments so far. Absolutely living legends. So grateful they're still producing new material.

Greg graffin is pointing to the best album in 2019

[lauzon]

The more I listent to the first 3 tracks of "Age of reason", the more i'm excited for the next album. It is so far a great follow up to True North. Proof that we can still rock hitting 50 years old and more! So I won't quit guitar playing in 5 years!!

[nigelnash]

They still got it, damn I love this band!
