Candidate
Bad Religion
[Verse 1] As I walk along this road paved with human kindness I can never forget the price you’ve paid I’m an actor on a role an artificial virus I’m your daddy I’m your disgrace I say kid just move along We don’t want it don’t need it Your politics just breed despair I salute an empty flag an ancient tribalism And trust me nobody cares [Chorus] For I am your candidate I am bloody lips and makeup I’m your caliphate opioids and mutilation A celebrity and my name is competition I’ve come to bear your pain (Bear your pain) And I can make it go away I’ll make it go away I’ll make it go away [Solo] [Verse 2] Believers dupes and clowns I want you all to gather ’round To glorify ignorance and fear I dispense misinformation to a post-truth generation My darlings don’t shed a tear [Chorus] For I am your candidate I am bloody lips and makeup I’m your caliphate opioids and revelation An hermaphrodite in restrooms and service stations I truly feel your pain (Feel your pain) And I can make it go away I’ll make it go away I’ll make it go away [Outro]
