Bad Religion - The Voracious March Of Godliness

[Intro]

Gm

[Verse]

Gm Eb F C
Since the start of the 17th century
Eb F
There’s been the scent of unseasoned wood burning in the air
Gm Eb F C
And the conquest of nature meant nothing at all
Eb F
While we betray exception we take all that is there

[Chorus]

Gm Eb Bb F
Motives are translucent in the reflection of shame
Gm Eb Bb F
The actions ghostly remnants of our ancestral ways
Gm Bb Eb D
And unwittingly you just take your place in this parade
Eb F
The voracious march of godliness makes us all the
G Eb
Same anyway
G Eb
All the same
Bb F D
Aaaaaaah

[Interlude]

Gm

[Verse 2]

Gm Eb F C
Since the dawn of our human family
Eb F
There’s been concentrated sepsis blowing in the breeze
Gm Eb F C
And we turned on each other with ferocity
Eb F
Desperation forced without reprieve

[Chorus 2]

Gm Eb Bb F
But the missions were misguided and the trammeled led astray
Gm Eb Bb F
The air resounds with thunder as the victors seized the day
Gm Bb Eb D
And the haunting voice of history lives ignored but not betrayed
Eb F
The voracious march of godliness will get us close to heaven
G Eb
One day
G Eb
Some day
Bb F D
Aaaaaaah

[Coda]

Eb
The voracious march of godliness
F
The voracious march of godliness
Eb
The voracious march of godliness
F
The voracious march of godliness
Eb
The voracious march of godliness
F
The voracious march of godliness
Eb F
The voracious march of godliness makes us all the
G Eb
Same anyway
G Eb
All the same
Bb F D
Aaaaaaah
