Empty causes
by Bad Religion from
the Grey Race Album

1st verse:

CEverywhere you Glooked there was a confusion, violence,
e drama and FdruGgs
CSo many rigtheous Grevolutionaries a spouting
e utopian Flove
EEveryone shouted in purplea haze
Then one Eday they woke up from their dream a state
They found Gisthemselves no more at peace then Disbefore
Older, meek and conGformed

Chorus 1:

CEmGpty a causese
A Fbluster for the soul, a Gfix for the mind
CEmGpty a causese
FCling to everyGthing you CfindG

2nd verse:

CWell, the shots rang out like Gpopcorn and the a chief was hit
and e rushed out of FsiGte
CThe mohawk-chained, Gleather brigade rea joiced maliciouse ly
on that Fnight ESomeone cried out "Fuck the governa ment"
EHis mates couldn't define what he a meant
So no Gisone gave him the time of Disday And the scene died aGway

Chorus 2:

CEmGpty a causese
A Fwar for the body, an Garmy in the mind
CEmGpty a causese
FLosing steam as Gtime goes byC

Bridge:

FCould it be that Geverybody CselfishBly dea sires theirGis
own personal DisretiB nue?
And the Fcauses are Gjust manifestaCtions of Btoo much a time
and Gisfar too little toDisdoG

(Guitar solo in C major)

Chorus 3:

CEmGpty a causese
FDirection for the soul, Gconviction for the mind
CEmGpty a causese
FCling to it allG everything you find
CEmGpty a causese
A Fwar for the body, an Garmy in the mind
CEmGpty a causese
FYou've got yours and GI've got miCGa e FGne
