Bad Religion - 'Age of Unreason' (Full Album Stream)

"Age of Unreason" by Bad Religion from the album 'Age of Unreason,' available now

Lyrics

Just to think that not so long ago was a man who risked his life
He challenged all the lies offered as sacred truth just to cast a brighter light

The notion that we can live as one in perfect harmony
Requires a common sensibility to teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe is in the air

But everywhere is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could give a care when their nation's heart is bleeding

And oh! when the violence has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
But the fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason

Just to think that not so long ago was a man who received the seal
He peddled blatant lies and brought back tyranny to divide his people with zeal

But we can live as one in perfect harmony
It requires a common sensibility to teach an intellectual capacity
That I believe is in the air

But everywhere is the ultimate act of treason
How so few can be aware that their nation's heart is bleeding

But I, as a child who plays for fun with his eye up to the barrel of a gun
Watch the fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason
Now that darkness has begun we decree the pen more mighty than the gun
While the fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason

Five star BR song. Speed, harmonies, melody, great vocals by Greg.

[zavierorlos]

I always say: "ok, the next album of BR cannot be so good as this one". I've been mistaken myself since the 80's ... Thanks Bad Religion!

[aidanhallinan]

Who’s been waiting for years for this album

[AnthonyLeaton]

Lyrical composition and rhyming genius. Epic tone. Faultless

"...just to cast a brighter light, the notion that we can live as one in perfect harmony...", Awesome

[nrXic]

Can't get over how awesome this track is.

[hugoemanuelcoelho]

Wow !!! The masters of melodic punk are back !!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

[calebpasour]

Have not been as excited for a new album since I was a teenager in SoCal in the 90's.

[gianfrancocampanale]

Migliore band di sempre.... li ascolto da quando avevo 14 anni e non mi stanco mai. GRAZIE RAGAZZI, GRAZIE

But, oh, as a child that prays for fun
With his eye up to the barrel of a gun
Watching fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason
Now the darkness has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
Watching fools believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason

Back to listen Bad Religion after 15 years.. saw them 3 times was one of my favourite band.. great lyrics always.. BAD RELIGION 83-85 album, was the best release for me..

[MegaBrandOn]

This album is amazing. Bad Religion always has a great way of saying things that break down and simplify the subject. The only other bands I can think of that compare are Aus-Rotten and Leftover Crack. Just awesome.

"It's in the air, but everywhere is the ultimate act of treason
And so few could be aware that their nation's heart is bleeding"

I've always loved BR's lyrics but that line is on a whole other level!

[DoughnutFoundation]

I was a Freshman in high school when True North came out. Very pleasant surprise to see a release in my personal time of need. Rock on.

[broomulack]

Absolutely love this song. Instant classic BR song for me.

[bryanutility]

Seeing BR live next week is a spiritual pilgrimage for me. Going on 20+ years this is will be my 4th show! 🙏✝️🚫🇺🇸

[paskahanska]

Pretty decent sounding album! So far i think this is the best song. Bad Religion wont let you down!

[witnessme]

There's a furnace set on high
And a yearning undefined

[kirkw.]

I love how Bad Religion's lyrics are so profound they provide commentary on a President who wasn't even selected when this album was released. Age of Unreason, indeed.

[ItsAsparageese]

God, you guys are my heroes for putting your music out on YouTube. I'm revving up for the concert tomorrow night in Denver, and I had to postpone my Google Play Music bill and it cut out my service JUST tonight, so I would have had to pirate the album in order to jam it and study up the lyrics if you guys hadn't published it here! Love BR and Epitaph forever!
