At The Mercy Of Imbeciles Lyrics - No Substance - Bad Religion

What you do is what you are 

And wishing upon distant stars 

Won't improve the hole you're in 

Won't absolve your deepest sin 

But action is no gift from some covert and lofty god 

It's dependant and weighty all the same 

And it is oh so easy just to keep to yourself 

But then you're at the mercy of imbeciles 

Now I didn't make up the rules 

But clearly we are led by fools 

It is wise to know their ways 

So you know how not to behave 

But sometimes we find ourselves in desperate need 

And we look to those with privilege and power 

It's then we learn compassion sits inert on their shelves 

We're at the mercy of imbeciles 

NO Actions is no gift from some masked spirit in the sky 

It's reducible to flesh, mind, and bone 

And it is oh so easy just to keep to yourself 

But then you're at the mercy of imbeciles 

Imbeciles 

Imbeciles 

IMBECILES
