Bad Religion
Misery And Famine
Against The Grain (1990)

f♯^f^f♯^f...  / / /

Am                   G
So proud of history, replete with sanctity
Dm                          E
Orbs in their harmony, they sing their code to me
Have you ever heard yourself, the orbit that you are in?
The terse, oppressive blanket that's instilled here by our spin      E

       Am         G              Am              G
  It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see
  Dm                       E
  Misery and famine, it compels us naturally
  Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee
  Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy

E  c  b  g  f♯ e

Others who bear no name, who feel that life's a game                 w/ a b a b a b a b
My verse, they will defame, we suffer all the same                      a b a b c b c b
They pay no regard to their position or their speed
The firmament still covers them with its malevolent seed

  Refrain

E

    Bm           E                 Bm           E
    You look for meaning in things no one comprehends
    Bm            E         G      D         Bm
    You feel no affinity to the rabble we're in
    Sources of inquiry have nothing to portend
    They will perplex us all until the coming end

      G       D      Bm   G D Bm!
    Until the coming end          o o

A feeling of despair, hungry and full of care
We resent everywhere the fortune that we share
This earth could be a better place, is a concept I condone
Given our pathetic course, our destiny is known

  Refrain

  Misery and famine  x 4
