Bad Religion - A World Without Melody lyrics

in a world without melody

sometimes the rhythmic din

of society is too much for me

but purpose is prioritized these days,

the goal is win the prize

there's a sleeping resonance we hold,

through which we're unified

so let it out! don't just get lost in the crowd

no one can deter you from your own path

there's no trip too remote

from which you can't come back

and I've got this hunch about you and me

none of us are ready

for a world without melody

melody is the key,

it's the surest way

to unlock your individuality

melody is the key,

it will set you free!

don't disrelish harmony,

community will make you whole

work and understanding are the chords

way deep within your soul

they only need to be struck once,

and the vibrations swell and spread

but if we mute them they decay,

our sensibilities are dead

so let it out! don't just be one of the crowd

hesitance and diffidence will do you in

and your soul doesn't care

for social medicine

and I've got this hunch

about you and me

none of us are ready

for a world without melody

melody is the key,

it's the surest way

to unlock your individuality

melody is the key,

it will set you free!

and I know,

together we could change the world

just you and me

but I won't live without melody
