Lyrics for Song: Pessimistic Lines
Lyrics for Album: Suffer
So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end
And we're the only ones who can perceive it.
But others sing of beauty and the story that's unfolded
As one that deserves praise and ritual.
My pessimistic lines,
Your superstitious lives,
And the modern age's lies won't absolve you.
And the professorial truth,
And the dear clairvoyant youth,
And of course the nightly news will deceive you.
(Watch out!)
My pessimistic lines,
Your superstitious lives,
And the modern age's lies won't absolve you.
And the professorial truth,
And the dear clairvoyant youth,
And of course the nightly news will deceive you.
(Let's go!)

Pessimistic Lines
Pessimistic Lines stands as a defining track on Bad Religion's 1988 landmark album, Suffer. Released during a period of intense creative output for the band, the song captures the sharp, melodic punk rock sound that helped propel them to wider recognition. The recording features the group's signature rapid-fire delivery and intricate harmonies, addressing themes of disillusionment and social observation characteristic of their work in the late 1980s. As part of an album widely considered a classic within the genre, the track showcases the band's ability to blend complex lyrical content with accessible, energetic instrumentation. It remains a staple in their live performances and a key component of their extensive discography, reflecting the enduring influence of their political and philosophical songwriting approach. |
