Mediocrity Lyrics - Bad Religion

I've spent my life observing 

and then pondering this place 

and never has confusion ever ceased 

I've also heard a lot of exaltation for our kind 

and sanctimonious reverence for peace 

The stories from our childhood 

condition us to think 

that beauty is a basic human trait 

but how are they reconciled with daily realities 

like poverty and dominance and rape

But you have to be 

stone cold dead not to see 

overwhelming incongruity 

as we search for suggestions to remedy... 

...Mediocrity 

If you just sit back and record what you see 

the tragic and exquisite are the same to some degree 

but most events depict a common theme: 

there's far more disorder 

than there is harmony

I said you've got to be 

stone cold dead not to see 

overwhelming incongruity 

It is pointless to search for teleology 

Mediocrity 

(always mediocrity)
