Bad Religion - Downfall Lyrics






It's never really clear when the end is near
Till you take a hard look in the rearview mirror
I'm pretty sure we're just running on fumes
No one really cares about the route

Beaches break down and the waves retreat
Are we stuck in some perpetual repeat?
Maybe we're like massive cliffs of sand
Waiting for the plates to smash again

Downfall, gravity calls
Entropy makes fools of us all
Downfall, you can't forestall
It's the proof there ain't no invisible hand

No one 'round here can contain their fears
Just contented with false hope to soothe the tears
Faith is king while truth is on the lam
Disenfranchised scientists be damned!

Downfall, gravity calls
Entropy makes fools of us all
Downfall, it's a natural law
And the judge don't have no use for the witness stand

Downfall, it's a natural law
Entropy makes fools of us all
Downfall, kill the guy with the ball
And make sure he can't get up to take a stand!

  3. T.... T....

    Gruss WW BUSH!

  4. T.... T....

  5. T.... T....

  6. K.... L....

    My fave track on the new album!

  7. I.... C....

    Agora levo fé que os caras encoroaram

  8. U.... R....

    Liberal pussies blah blah blah. USA Rules !!!

  9. A.... R....

    Sincerily,the album is nothing special but lyrics kills...anyway BR are the best punk rock band ever after Ramones.Cheers!

  10. V.... V....

    This album sounds like No Substance 2

    V.... V....

    IMO its way better than no substance. Reminds me more of dissent of man, only better.

    V.... V....

    It's more accurate to say each track is almost an homage to a past album.

    V.... V....

    @anarkistogre that's probably more accurate

    V.... V....

    If that sounds like no substance to u maybe u need to check your ears ....or maybe learn to hear some music ... or be a Bad Religion fan....

    V.... V....

    @Alex Polizos but I like No Substance so I am a real fan

  11. C.... ....

    This song is great. They stopped whining about Trump for a minute. Thanks for the break.

    C.... ....

    @nrXic Bad Religion has been my favorite rock band for a long time. I came on here to check out their new shit. This album is good. The Trump derangement/orange man bad stuff is.....boring, to say the least.

    C.... ....

    USA Rules - You’ve made it a mission to shit on songs critical of Trump? Man, you sure do sound like a thin-skinned, perpetually offended snowflake to me.

    C.... ....

    no bad religion song can make your life complete

    C.... ....

    Shut up and enjoy the music. I didnt even know this album was suppose to be about Trump. I just listened and enjoyed the fuxk out of the album. Plus I'm Canadian, so I dont really give a shit about all those American politics. Good music, great music.

    C.... ....

    If you think that, you just don't get it. It is not USA, nor Trump. Not left or right, it is about THE WHOLE system. Political, educational, economical, we are just slaves in a mind prison, and BR knows. All politicians are just puppets wherever they political side, it is just a clown show.
    WAKE UP!!!

  12. A.... F....

    I'm so glad Greg Graffin never fell with the New Atheism crowd; those are merely another side of the same coin, making those who follow the path of Hume and d'Holbach and many others look idiotic and intolerant or an ugly and dangerous version of what a stupid person might think as being a smart person.

    A.... F....

    What is the new atheism? The Four Horsemen of Atheism are good thinkers.

  13. Z.... A....

    Did anyone get EODM vibe

    Z.... A....

    More TYXS vibe

  14. C.... Q....

    El segundo peor disco de BR una decepción 🥺esperar por esto ?

    C.... Q....

    El segundo peor? Es lejos el mejor álbum que han hecho a diferencia de sus antecesores en estos últimos años, es el que tiene un sonido mucho más trabajado y letras mucho más significativas...es escuchar un disco antiguo de BR con un toque mucho más expresivo y depresivo de sí mismos como estaban acostumbrados.

  15. M.... ....

    Sounds a little bit like oasis

    M.... ....

    how dare you

    M.... ....

    No it doesn't. And I'm glad it doesn't.

  16. T.... E....

    To me this song sounds like an ode to Pearl Jam, with a Backspacer kind of sound and an allusion to Rearviewmirror. If it's actually on ode to PJ, you'd have to ask Greg and Brett. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxNYsUy4DZ0

  17. L.... A....

    "Faith is King while truth is on the lam" That quote represents well the band.. awesome!

  18. C.... S....

    This is a Brett song through and through.

    C.... S....

    How can you tell which songs are Brett's songs and which songs are Greg's songs?

    C.... S....

    It's actually probably a Greg song!
    BR Page has Greg listed, and Greg quotes a line from it in the press release.

  19. V.... N....

    "No one 'round here can contain their fears". <3 Que banda Que banda.

    V.... N....

    A melhor que há.

  20. S.... ....

    One of the first tracks with noticeable synths since Into the Unknown. I really like it, it has a Television vibe.

    S.... ....

    THIS SOUNDS LIKE WEEZER AND GREEN DAY :) PUNK ROCK MEETS NEW WAVE POWER POP GARAGE ROCK = BAD RELIGION

  21. A.... ....

    I love Bad Religion

    A.... ....

    It's a shame that more people don't love Bad Religion. They should be taught in schools, help open eyes of future generations.

  22. D.... T....

    I've missed BR so much. We need them in this political era.

    D.... T....

    Lol white boy..your the enemy

    D.... T....

    Shut the fuck up chris rice, nobody asked.

  23. s.... j....

  25. m.... ....

    Yes, they're back!

    m.... ....

    Not a moment too soon. We've needed them.

  26. T.... D....

    These guys know how to write a damn good melody, that's for sure!

    T.... D....

    You got that right, bucko!

    T.... D....

    BAD RELIGION HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR WRITING GOOD STRONG SOLID PUNK ROCK MELODYS IN ALL THEIR MUSIC AND THIS NEW ALBUM: AGE OF UNREASON , IS REALLY NO DIFFERENT, MAYBE TO SOME, ITS SOUNDS MORE ROCK THAN PUNK, BUT THATS ALRIGHT WITH ME AND OTHERS :) THIS BAND IS STILL A GOOD OVERALL AMERICAN ROCK BAND WITH PUNK, HARDCORE, METAL AND EVEN GRUNGE AND POWER POP GARAGE INFLUENCES , JUST LIKE NIRVANA, WEEZER, GREEN DAY, FOO FIGHTERS, OFFSPRING, PEARL JAM, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS AND SOCIAL DISTORTION.

    T.... D....
