Fertile Crescent Lyrics by Bad Religion
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Come and see the brilliant light
don't let your emotions mask your sight
it's the manifestation of a deeper fight
that affects me and you
my optimism was running high
a new world order was on my mind
but I couldn't belive it when I heard them say
they're blowing it away
and the fertile crescent is burning today
and baby my emotions are too
the cradle of humanity has led us all astray
and we're all in this tigether don't you know
'cause our species has nowhere else to go
aggression rears its ugly head
retaliation brings further dread
the two are linked by unseen threads
that wind back through time
I don't agree with the outdated trend
nationalism is an evil friend
but hatred is instilled by invisible lines
drawn in our minds
and the fertile crescent is haunting us today
and baby our instincts are too
the ghost of humanity is warning us this way
and I think we all should need it don't you know
'cause we've got nowhere else to go
Come and see the brilliant light   don't let your emotions mask your sight   it's the manifestation of a deeper fight   that affects me and you   my optimism was running high   a new world order was on my mind   but I couldn't belive it when I heard them say   they're blowing it away   and the fertile crescent is burning today   and baby my emotions are too   the cradle of humanity has led us all astray   and we're all in this tigether don't you know   'cause our species has nowhere else to go   aggression rears its ugly head   retaliation brings further dread   the two are linked by unseen threads   that wind back through time   I don't agree with the outdated trend   nationalism is an evil friend   but hatred is instilled by invisible lines   drawn in our minds   and the fertile crescent is haunting us today   and baby our instincts are too   the ghost of humanity is warning us this way   and I think we all should need it don't you know   'cause we've got nowhere else to go
