Bad Religion - 'My Sanity'

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

Lyrics

when the world has gone mad and there's nowhere to roam
the lights are all on but nobody's home
there comes a time when you look up to the sky
and ask why do my favorite songs always make me cry
and am I losing my sanity

my sanity I've nothing to lose so please let me be
I've got a firm grip and strong roots like a tree burrowed deep in reality
I won't let you go What else can there be you're all I have

when you swore to be true our bed was belief
but alternative facts snuck in like a thief
There comes a time to release the cord of self
and with confidence declare your state of perfect mental health
never doubting my sanity

my sanity I've nothing to lose so please let me be
my life is a song a short melody harmonizing with reality
I've got it real bad there's no remedy you're all I have
my dear sanity

sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism

oh my sanity my sanity I've nothing to lose so please let me be
my life is a song a short melody harmonizing with reality
I've got it real bad there's no remedy my world picture is exemplary
I won't let you go what else can there be you're all I have
my dear sanity

There is something about the way bad religion structure their music and lyrics that hits me on a deeply emotional level. As a young punk rocker 37 year's ago or now as a 52yr old it's the same feeling.

[astrollogzodimac]

This song saved me when I was alone depressed and homeless

[SonataFanatica]

"There comes a time when you look up to the sky and ask 'Why do my favorite songs always make me cry?'" – leave it to Greg and the guys to hit close to home.

[nachotorres]

When Bad Religion releases a song, if its 2 minute long you know its going to be hardcore, if its 3 minutes you know its a melodic one.

Like wine ladies and gentleman, the older the better!
I present you, the best punk rock band of all times! Bad Religion!

Lyrics:

When the world has gone mad and there's nowhere to roam
The lights are all on but nobody's home
There comes a time when you look up to the sky
And ask why do my favorite songs always make me cry
And am I losing

My sanity, my sanity
I've nothing to lose, so please let me be
I've got a firm grip and strong roots like a tree
Burrowed deep in reality
I won't let you go, what else can there be
You're all I have

When you swore to be true, our bed was belief
But alternative facts snuck in like a thief
There comes a time to release the cord of self
And with confidence declare your state of perfect mental health
Never doubting

My sanity, my sanity
I've nothing to lose, so please let me be
My life is a song, a short melody
Harmonizing with reality
I've got it real bad, there's no remedy
You're all I have, my dear sanity

Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism

Oh my sanity, my sanity
I've nothing to lose, so please let me be
My life is a song, a short melody
Harmonizing with reality
I've got it real bad, there's no remedy
My world picture is exemplary
I won't let you go, what else can there be
You're all I have, my dear sanity

The most important band to ever walk the planet.

[Billy_Gnosis]

Sanity is a full time job in a world that’s always changing. 😏

[SquidGangRiseUp]

These are the kinds of songs that really turned me on to punk rock in general, and that Bad Religion has historically done better than anyone else. Those songs that, while remaining definitively punk rock, manage to convey this hopeful emotion that means more than just rebellion and hatred. It's uplifting in a way that this song, Fields of Mars, and a couple other absolutely nail.

[natehanscom]

This sounds like new and old Bad Religion mixed together. I like this!

[MuhammadW]

I love how Gregg's voice never change through the time

[BassistBill]

Favorite line is definitely, "Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism"

[FDG_]

"...And ask why do my favourite songs always make me cry?"


THIS IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THEM 😭❤️

[jimfeddema]

Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism....Thank you Greg for soeaking what I feel

[kellybailey]

Changing the world one " ya hey " at a time

[Mark.the.Suspect]

Damn, Bad Religion songs hit harder than they should be allowed to. So good.

[AlmostaFlipinSkater]

Sorrow, Live Again (The Fall of Man), Honest Goodbye, Cyanide, Dept of False Hope, and My Sanity are the Bad Religion anthems of each of their respective 21st century albums. Bad Religion is amazing.

[SpotGoesHawaii]

Bad Religion is the music that made me the man I am today.

[dennisoutcast]

" Why do my favorite songs always make me cry? "
This song make me wanna cry.. :D

[americanrepair]

I have been a die hard Bad Religion fan for 27 years now. At 40 years old, I still get emotional when a new song or album comes out. Don't ever retire Greg.
