Bad Religion - I Want To Conquer The World lyrics

Your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word your saying

Hey sister bleeding heart with all of your compassion

Your labors soothe the hort but can't assuage temptation

Hey man of science with your perfect rules of measure

Can you improve the place with the data that you gather?

Hey mother mercy can your loins bear fruit forever

Is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure?

I want to conquer the world

Give all the idiots a brand new religion

Put an end to poverty uncleanliness and toil

Promote equality in all of my decisions

With a quick wink of an eye and a "God you must be joking"

Hey mister diplomat with your worldly aspirations

Did you see your children cry when you left them at the station?

Hey moral soldier you've got righteous proclamations

And precious tomes to fuel your pulpy conflagrations

Chorus

Is there a man that can conquer that which can't be tamed?

And if that mad could speak would the words evoked be sane?

Ask me the reasons for misery and shame

I'll give your reasons for the wind and rain

Chorus

I want to conquer the world

Expose the culprits and feed teh to the children

I'll do away with pollution and then I'll save the whales

We'll have peace on earth and global communion

I want to conquer the world
