Bad Religion - Generator - 02 - Too Much to Ask

A refreshing plunge

a drink of palatable water

a deep inspiration on a warm summer day

a safe stroll in a middle of the road community

a neighbor who in times of need will not turn away

I ain't no politician

I am a citizen

and I wonder if I'm living too far out of bounds

community protection

rehabilitation

police that serve without legitimate right to maim

global awareness

ecological guilt

cultural and environmental awakening

I ain't no optimist

I try to be a realist

and I wonder if I'm thinking too far out of bounds

is it too much to ask?

could it be the earth is shrinking?

I can see the walls closing in

no one can take much for granted anymore

remote control

three cars for every family

corruption at the expense of the simple majority

a violent clash

a plunder of the third world

any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy

I ain't no blind supporter

I'm a conscious citizen

and I know that we are living too far out of bounds

(I) ain't no politician

(I) ain't no blind supporter

I ain't no metropia

I am a citizen

and I wonder if I'm living too far out of bounds

is it too much to ask?

can we keep the earth from sinking?

I can see the walls closing in

no one can take much for granted anymore

(you better not take it for granted anymore)

I'm not taking nothing for granted anymore

I love the intro to this song. It really gives you that 90's feel.

What does the word "vetrope" (that he sings) means? I can't find it.

@Johnnydotca I hereby decree vetrope to be a word. A word that, being multifaceted, is meant to mean a summation of the syntax it is used within. I will annotate etymological considerations in the proper peer journals for the sake of all those involved, and appreciate your backing for such an endeavor should you choose to follow me in this pursuit. Thank you for your time, and mashed potatoes. "I don't think the word vetrope exists" It does now!

@Blackfury1 just because you cant find it in a dictionary doesn't mean its not a word. Thats the awesome thing about English. If we couldn't draw upon logic to further develop the language, it wouldn't be worth the letters forming it. That said, I don't think it is Votary, and that the actual meaning is what you originally thought is was, not something to later cover up something creative they made back when they were actually punk enough to make their own REAL words. Existence if a funny thing.

English isn't my first language either, but the only word I can think of is "metope". Still, it wouldn't make any sense at all...

Well I guess vegetable bears more merit than vetrope... But if it isn't correct, then votary is probably the word they were looking for. Anyway, it's not a big deal as Bad Religion has produced over 250 songs of pure intelligence.

Yeah you are right, the word vetrope doesn't exist. Sorry English isn't my mother tongue so it's hard to tell for me. According to the forum of "The Bad Religion Page" the word is vegetable, Jay Bentley told them they say. Doesn't make much sense, does it?

Even though I think Greg's a smart guy, I think he means votary in this song. He says, "I ain't no blind supporter" and that is the direct antithesis of what a votary is. As a matter of fact, I don't think the word vetrope exists. In any case, this tune is still amazing, and is probably the longest fast song I've heard from them thus far.
