INTRO (Part two)
It's a matter of prescience. No, not the science fiction kind.
It's all about ignorance, and greed, and miracles for the blind.
the media parading, disjointed politics.
Founded on petrochemical plunder and we're its hostages.

RIFF ONE
If you stand to reason
you're in the game
the rules might be elusive
but our pieces are the same
and you know if one goes down
we all go down as well
the balance is precarious
as anyone can tell
this world's going to hell

You might not think it matters now,
But what if you are wrong.
You might not think there's
any wisdom in a fucked up punkrock song.
But the way it is,
cannot persist for long.
A brutal sun is rising on a sick horizon

RIFF ONE
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bad_religion/kyoto_now_tab_ver_5.html ]
It's in the way
we live our lives
exactly like the double-edge of
a cold familiar knife
and supremacy weighs heavy on the day
it's never really what you own
but what you threw away
and how much did you pay?

CHORUS
Don't allow
this mythologic hopeful
monster to exact its price
Kyoto now!
We can't do nothing and think
someone else will make it right
In your dreams
You saw a steady state a bounty for eternity
Silent screams
but now the wisdom that sustains
us is in full retreat

CHORUS
Don't allow
this mythologic hopeful monster
isn't worth the risk
Kyoto now!
We can't have vision for the
future if it can't be fixed
Alien
We need a fresh and new
religion to run our lives
Hand in hand
the arid torpor of inaction will be our demise
Oh, Kyoto now!
