Bad Religion
The Voracious March Of Godliness
No Substance (1998)

g (P.M.)  <  w/ Gm  haché

          G5            E♭5 F5   C5
Since the start of the 17th century
                 E♭5 (P.M.)
There's been the scent of unseasoned wood
               F5
Burning in the air

And the conquest of nature meant nothing at all
While we betray exception
We take all that is there - but

  G5               E♭5           B♭5           F5
  Motives are translucent in the reflection of shame
  The actions ghostly remnants of our ancestral ways
        G5             B♭5            E♭5             D5
  And unwittingly, you just take your place in this parade, oh-oh

        E♭5 (P.M.)                   F5                       G   E♭
    The voracious march of godliness makes us all the same anywaaaay
            G  E♭   B♭  F  D
    All the saaame, aaaaaaaah ah-ah

Gm  haché

Since the dawn of our human family
There's been concentrated sepsis
Blowing in the breeze

And we turned on each other with ferocity
Desperation
Forced without reprieve

  But the missions were misguided and the trammeled led astray
  The air resounds with thunder as the victors seized the day
  And the haunting voice of history lives ignored but not betrayed, oh-oh

    The voracious march of godliness will get us close to heaven one day
    One day, aaaah

E♭5  F5  x 3  (P.M.)  w/ The voracious march of godliness
