Bad Religion - Fertile Crescent Lyrics
Come and see the brilliant light
Don't let your emotions mask your sight
It's the manifestation of a deeper fight
That affects me and you
A new world order was on my mind
But I couldn't believe it when I heard them say
They're blowing it away
And the fertile crescent is burning today
And baby my emotions are too
The cradle of humanity has led us all astray
And we're all in this together don't you know'
Cause our species has nowhere else to go
Retaliation brings further dread
The two are linked by unseen threads
That wind back through time
I don't agree with the outdated trend
Nationalism is an evil friend
But hatred is instilled by invisible lines
Drawn in our minds
And the fertile crescent is haunting us today
And baby our instincts are too
The ghost of humanity is warning us this way
And I think we all should heed it don't you know
'Cause we've got nowhere else to go
And the fertile crescent is haunting us today
And baby our instincts are too
The ghost of humanity is warning us this way
And I think we all should heed it don't you know
'Cause we've got nowhere else to go

Come and see the brilliant light
Don't let your emotions mask your sight
It's the manifestation of a deeper fight
That affects me and you
My optimism was running high
A new world order was on my mind
But I couldn't belive it when I heard them say
They're blowing it away
And the fertile crescent is burning today
And baby my emotions are too
The cradle of humanity has led us all astray
And we're all in this together don't you know
'Cause our species has nowhere else to go
Aggression rears its ugly head
Retaliation brings further dread
The two are linked by unseen threads
That wind back through time
I don't agree with the outdated trend
Nationalism is an evil friend
But hatred is instilled by invisible lines
Drawn in our minds
And the fertile crescent is haunting us today
And baby our instincts are too
The ghost of humanity is warning us this way
And I think we all should heed it don't you know
'Cause we've got nowhere else to go
The Fertile Crescent is where the first human civilization was created if anyone was worrying
Everyone knows that, idiot
Bad religion is propaganda
Propagandhi
bad religion knows!!
this song is a knife in the heart
El disco mas trablajado sin duda
Con Bobby Schayer
maybe the greatest bad religion song of all time.
I say that every time i listen to any BR song. Most of their work just blows my socks off.
@Guybrush Threepwood For sure but this one...damn this one is outstanding amongst the outstanding.
I don't think so, both Graffin and Gurewitz are great songwriters. All of Brett's songs make sense, you just need to look further to find the meaning. Brett's songs also tend to be more emotional while Greg's are more philosophical.
I'd say Brett's songs are more metaphorical while Greg's are more intellectual.
And BaaAAaaby my enotions are tooOOoo
No problem, even they have a hard time trying to remember who wrote what. ;)
dammit you're right i keep thinking of heaven is falling
A melhor do mundo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the fastest singers in the world
i wish i knew where to find this album, i swear i've had the grey race twice, generator twice... and i don't know where to find my no control album.. ah, that was the beginning of bad religion for me
Our species has nowhere else to go.... These fuckers are too smart for their own good!

Ahh fuck, good ole days. You are missed.
Yes sir... I do believe thins is my favorite BR song... and that is not an easy thing to say.
So, for those those who don't know, Here you go.

One of the best lyrics written by Greg Graffin. He started to write it just after the tv news telling about the first bomb drop on the First Gulf War by George Bush (father)
