The Surface Of Me Lyrics - Bad Religion

Oh yeah! 

A study of history reveals an unflagging appeal to mystery 

You talk about abstraction at the top of the list 

But you might as well get pissed, cause in me the essence does not exist, no-oh-oh 

Yeah-yeah! 

You're so shallow 

How can your romance hope to be the veil of an ersatz human nature 

That can pacify but never slept well when there's the pretension of living a lie 

Take me as I am, judge me for my crimes 

I can say I'll behave freely all the time 

You can predict what I'll say, it's in my DNA 

But soon I'll be a catalogue number anyway 

So say a little prayer 

Convince yourself that someone cares 

All I am is what you see 

There is nothing more than the surface of me (x2) 

you know

Oh yeah! 

Apologies to Skinner, but I do believe that I feel like I'm a winner 

Having just discovered a long solved modal secret, of how I always feel 

So goddamn downtrodden and desperate 

Take me as I am, judge me for my crimes 

I can say I'll behave freely all the time 

You can predict what I'll say, it's in my DNA 

But soon I'll be a catalogue number anyway 

So say a little prayer 

Convince yourself that someone cares 

All I am is what you see 

There is nothing more than the surface of me (x2)

Take me as I am, judge me for my crimes 

I can say I'll behave freely all the time 

You can predict what I'll say, it's in my DNA 

But soon I'll be a catalogue number anyway 

So say a little prayer 

Convince yourself that someone cares 

All I am is what you see 

There is nothing more than the surface of me (x4) 

What you see is the surface of me
