Lyrics

Walls of suspicion, spandrels of doubt
Spasms of uncertainty, a world all inside-out
Ubiquitous confusion, heads in the sand
Self-appointed experts making claims they can’t defend or even understand

The commons turned out to be a tragedy
Oh, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty is emancipation of the mind

Hey! Chains of superstition all come undone
Vivid illumination that’s brighter than the sun
A handicap of bigotry and prejudice
All becomes a hinterland, a smoky wilderness . . . the dominion of ignorance

The commons turned out to be a tragedy
Oh, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty is emancipation of the mind

It’s a stalemate of morality, a debt for all mankind
These haughty mental shackles make us blind to what is really right

The commons turned out to be a tragedy
Yeah, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty is emancipation of the mind

See what you can find if you take a different line
Emancipation of the mind

Epitaph Records is an artist-first indie label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist, Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights helped launch the 90s punk explosion. Along the way, Epitaph has grown and evolved creatively while sticking to its mission of helping real artists make great recordings on their own terms.
