Bad Religion – Eat Your Dog lyrics

Album: How Could Hell Be Any Worse?

The smell of virgin pages wafted through the swinging doors
And the croaking speech he'd heard from countless counselors before
They said we all care for you, we know how much you suffer
But I know you can suceed, I used to have it so much rougher
There's hope in the words and the emotion in the eyes
It's so easy to be misled by the savvy gentle guise
And like fools we trust the delivery
But it's all just drunk sincerity
In maternal family assembly poised regarding the blue tube
The numbers crept up higher and the hawks stayed out of view
Then the generals said we don't want our boys dead
Your sons and your husbands will be coming back heroes soon
With steam, heat, and rhythm in the back seat of the car
And adolescent perspective projecting life's forecast to the stars
You heard love from the lips and you were rapt by the hips
And the promise was eternal but you couldn't see that far
