Bad Religion – Struck A Nerve Lyrics  Share

From Bad Religion's album: Recipe For Hate

there^,s an old man on a city bus
holding a candy cane,
and it isn^,t even Christmas,
he sees a note in the obituary that
his last friend has died,
there^,s an infant clinging to
his overweight mother as they go to
shop for cigarettes,
and she spends her last dollar
for a bottle of vodka for tonight
and I guess it struck a nerve,
like I had to squint my eyes,
you can never get out of the line of sight,
like a barren winter day,
or a patch of unburned green,
like a tragic real dream,
i guess it struck a nerve
every day I wander in negative disposition,
as I^,m bombarded by superlatives,
[ Struck A Nerve lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/b/bad-religion/struck-nerve/ ]
realizing very well that I^,m not alone,
introverted i look to tomorrow for salvation,
but I^,m thinking altruistically,
and a wave of overwhelming doubt
turns me to stone
and I guess it struck a nerve,
sent a murmur through my heart,
we just haven^,t got time to crack the maze,
like a magic speeding clock,
or a cancer in our sells,
a collision in the dark,
I guess it struck a nerve
I try to close my eyes,
but I cannot ignore the stimuli,
if there^,s a purpose for us all
it remains a secret to me,
don^,t ask me to justify my life.
