Lyrics Since Now - Bad Religion

Since when
Was it just a fallacy of tainted memory
Since when
To believe that things were really all right
Since when
Were the qualities of wisdom and knowledge
Since when
Equivalent to mere facts online
Since when
Were the virtues of character and content
Since when
More than just a popularity game
Since when
Was the protocol of rational judgment
Not the same as blame
Since now
It's fucked up beyond all recognition
Just a symptom of the time
Since now
You might call it modern cognition
Without a reason or rhyme
Since when
Was the platitude of honorable mention
Since when)
Only a dishonor to behold
Since when
Was being second only first among the losers
Just the same as getting old?
Since now
It's natural to feel unlucky
Too many winners spoil the prize
Since now
So if you are on the bottom
Don't you cry
Since when
Was history just a futile mission
Since when
Without a context to reveal?
Since when
Was lacking sense of place or social purpose
The new deal
Since now
Yeah it's fucked up beyond all recognition
Just a symptom of the time
Since now
You might call it cognition
But don't ask why
Ask since when
