Inner Logic - Bad Religion (Stranger Than Fiction)
==============================================================================
Verse 1:
C#m A B C#m
Automatons with business suits, swinging black boxes
C#m A B F#
Sequestering the blueprints of daily life
C#m A B C#m
Content and free of care they rejoice in morning rituals
C#m A B F#
As they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky
==============================================================================
Chorus (part 1):
C#m A C B
I don't ask questions, don't promote demonstration
A C G
Don't look for new concensus, don't stray from constitution
D Bb C# G#
If I pierce the complexity I won't find salvation
F# C# G#
Just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception
==============================================================================
Chorus (part 2):
C#m A E F# B
There is an inner logic
C#m A E F# B
And we're taught to stay far from it
C#m A E F# B
It is simple and elegant
C#m A E F# B
But it's cruel and antithetic
G#
And there's no effort to reveal it
==============================================================================

Verse 2:
Graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos
In segacious dialogue they despise their average ways
Betraying pomp and discipline, they mold their institution
Where they practice exclusion on the masses every day
[Chorus 1 & 2]

==============================================================================
Verse 3:
Decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavement
Simulating tyranny under red alert
Protecting the opulent and staging moral standard
They expect redemption of character and self-growth
[Chorus 2]
==============================================================================
Outro:
No equality
No opportunity
No tolerance
For the progressive alternative
==============================================================================
