All There Is lyrics

Song information

Artist: Bad Religion
Album: The Empire Strikes First

Lyrics

This song goes out
To all the hopeless sinners
With grave alligiances so meaningless and vain

The walking wounded, in a pageant of contenders
Who balance on a rail of pain, for just a pail of rain

And everything is barely mist
Blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson
More than this, once again
Like a bullet, as a friend tell me
Can that be all there is?

In my rectory of doubt
I kneel to pray like one devout
As time the great gray dreamless sleep
Of a useless modern god
Erodes away each storied day
As wretched adams
With hell to pay
Content upon a rail of pain, for just a little rain

And everything is dearly missed
Blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson
More than this, once again
Like a bullet, as a friend tell me
Can that be all there is?

There's an endless disposition
And it doesn't mean a goddamn thing
There's a space for a paper airplane race
In the eye of a hurricane

And if pigs could fly
Then surely so could i
But this pedestrian knows better
Than to even try

And my divinity is caught between the colors
Of a butterfly

And everything is dearly missed
Blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson
More than this,once again
Like a bullet, as a friend tell me
Can that be all there is?

A-aaaal there is
