The Universal Cynic Lyrics - No Substance (b-sides) - Bad Religion

Catch a shooting star and put it in your pocket 

And your pants will start on fire 

One bird in the hand or two birds in the bush 

Neither do you any good, when you're stuck in the quagmire 

Show everyone you're not sure that they're telling the truth 

Then you can be known as the universal cynic too 

Benefit your fellow man with good deeds for the day 

And you'll serve your life away 

Pennies saved today are pennies still tomorrow 

Strewn upon the desk, piled up in the paper weight

Show everyone you're not sure that they're telling the truth 

Then you can be known as a universal cynic too 

Wipe your opaque eyes and restore your crystal vision 

Turn another cheek and exalt in your decision 

A bit of exercise for the universal cynic in you 

Early to bed and early to rise 

Precludes you from seeing the most brilliant starry nights 

Sticks and stones can break bones, words can't really hurt 

Unless you carry guns and are hungry for a fight

Challenging the standards or questioning the established rules 

Trying to understand how they can benefit you 

Showing everyone you're not sure that they're telling the truth 

Just a bit of exercise for the universal cynic in you 

The universal cynic is you
