[00:00:00] Bad Religion - Past Is Dead

[00:00:01]

[00:00:10] Solemn regret transgressions fill my head

[00:00:20] A measure of success is how well to forget

[00:00:29] And the past is dead

[00:00:35]

[00:00:51] Strewn about the battlefield of life are the remainders of history

[00:00:57] When convenient we exalt them and pay them such respect

[00:01:01] As if we're all in an equivalent trajectory

[00:01:03]

[00:01:04] And trash piles high in the rubble we forgot

[00:01:07] The angels of our nature just sit and watch it rot

[00:01:10]

[00:01:10] Now the past is dead

[00:01:13] Let's focus on tomorrow instead

[00:01:16] Oh the tragic present said

[00:01:19] The past is dead

[00:01:20]

[00:01:26] Who can say what constitutes the most important sector of society

[00:01:32] The dominant portion seek an instant gratification

[00:01:35] And are proud of intellectual poverty

[00:01:39]

[00:01:39] I'd like to be empathetic but I can't

[00:01:42] The jeopardy is too great to make a stand

[00:01:45]

[00:01:45] Now the past is dead

[00:01:48] Good deeds won't help you get ahead

[00:01:50] The modern signpost read the past is dead

[00:01:55]

[00:01:58] My next great decision is just lying in wait

[00:02:01] The action might turn out to be the world's most grievous mistake

[00:02:05]

[00:02:20] The past is dead

[00:02:23] More veritable words have never been read

[00:02:26] The tragic present said the past is dead
