Bad Religion – Submission Complete lyrics

Dedication is the price you pay:
The initiated are Coddled and caged
Before you walk, as soon as you crawl
Hope is pointless `cuz you're stuck in the trawl

Fuck the freshman lectures and brandishments
They just betray impoverished accomplishments
The puppet masters fear originality
They tighten up the tethers and they shackle your feet
Submission complete

Your recruits never have a chance,
Enticed to the drill, admonished to dance
Early to rise and early to shine,
Life is long but the end is nigh

Break the guilty trammels from yesteryear
Remember how rejuvenation conquers all fears
Lowly opportunities take commanding roles
And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won't show
The sad reflection of dead ambition
You live for nothing. Submission complete.

Yeah, break the guilty trammels from yesteryear
Remember how the taste of failure makes it all clear
The lowly opportunities take commanding roles
And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won't show
The sad reflection of dead ambition
You live for nothing

Expectation, indoctrination,
Life's a damnation. Submission complete
Dying on your feet
Submission complete
A total defeat
