Bad Religion - Since Now

(Since when?) Was it just a fallacy of tainted memory
To believe that things were really all right?
(Since when?) Were the qualities of wisdom and knowledge
Equivalent to mere facts online? Yeah
(Since when?) Were the virtues of character and content
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
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
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 don't ask why
Ask since when
