True North

Bad Religion · True North [2013]

Unrepentant vagabond

Plot the new coordinates and cast the map aside

Now I gotta ramble on

Navigate the pitfalls and cross the great divide



The mapmaker's legend gave direction and a key

He set the declination but what good is it to me?



I can't see the rationality

The world's not my responsibility

And happiness isn't there for me

But maybe I'll inch closer to the source

When I find true north

(With or without a friend,

Keep searching 'til the end)



Tempting fate and cheating death

No one ever told me it was gonna be like this

Contemplate the randomness

When the mind is willing it gets downright perilous



Overburdened, underwhelmed, their ethical decrees

That's your moral compass but what good is it to me?



I can't see the rationality

The world's not my responsibility

And happiness isn't there for me

But maybe I'll inch closer to the source

When I find true north

(With or without a friend,

Keep searching 'til the end)

When I find true north.
