I've seen some requests for Bad Religion here, and though
this song is pretty easy, I like it.  I thought I'd just
throw it out here.  Tell me if you want any other easy
stuff.  Tabbing is really good ear practice.

Verse 1:

Culture was the seed of proliferation
But it has gotten melted
Into an inharmonic whole
To an inharmonic whole

Consciousness has plagued us
And we cannot shake it
Though we think we're in control
Though we think we're in control

Words for chorus:

Questions that besiege us in life
Are testament
Of our helplessness

There's no vestige of a beginning     ) in the lyrics, this is
No prospect of an end                 ) is attributed to Hutton, 1795
When we all desintegrate                Anyone know who that is?
It will happen all again
Yeah


Play Riff 1 


For Verse 2:

Play Riff 2 eight times

Verse 2:

Time is so rock solid in the minds of the hoards
But they can't
Explain why it should slip away
Explain why it should slip away

History and future are the comforts of our curiosity
But here we are
Rooted in the present day
Rooted in the present day

If you came to conquer you'll be king for a day
But you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away
And believe these words you hear when you think your path is clear...

I've gone over it a gazillion times looking for mistakes.  I think I
