The Profane Rights Of Man
Bad Religion
Hostility to every living creature
Like gifted intellectual commands
Inalienable, it's not some moving feature
It’s foundation, a bedrock of the land
So it's criminal, antithetical, inimical
To an enlightened plan
If you seek to make divisible
The principle of the profane rights of man
And so it turns, the bourgeoisie
The bastard child of democracy
Morphs into aristocracy
Demands advantage, it must not receive
But if the citizen will not stay its hand
The myth becomes a menace on the land
And it's criminal, antithetical, inimical
Intelligence and knowledge are an ordinance
A constant check on privilege and wealth
Nurture it, provisioning a furtherance
Of fundamental democratic health
So it's criminal, antithetical, inimical
To an enlightened plan
If you seek to make divisible
The principle of the profane rights of man
