Victims Of The Revolution Lyrics - No Substance - Bad Religion

What will prove to be our big mistake? 

Short-sighted arrogance, all for what sake? 

Our families to ashes, our ambitions to dust 

Our progeny in silence thinking "what about us?" 

But don't forget, the dance of neglect, 

The march for empowering prosperity, 

The pain from loss and want for mere lucidity 

Just maternal residue, and I was there too 

And maybe so were you 

When something is won it comes with sacrifice 

It's there beneath the joy, the glory, and pride 

And rarely it's acknowledged but in positive light 

Consciously omitting the losers plight 

But, don't, forget, the dance of neglect, 

The craving for community that never was met, 

The longing for status and the overture of regret 

With no one to deter, pathetically unsure 

Forgetting who they were
