Text: Bad Religion. The New America. Believe It.

Come on!

It could happen to you
A defect
From the wasted outskirts of Los Angeles
With a crumpled up pass for the R.D.D.
And no authority or trajectory
On the brink of insanity

Yeah, you better believe it
Because it's written all over your face
Just a neighborhood reject
Out of step and out of place
You better believe it

Would you ever've thought
Persistence
Could prevail against the almost
Unbearable weight of the system?
With nothing better to do
And no one else who you can look up to

Yeah, you better believe it
Because it's written all over your face
A political defect
Out of step and out of place
You better believe it

And the future is bright
When ideas run astray
So turn out the lights
A punk can't have a say
Sometimes desire is all that's there
Who said life was fair?
Better believe it

Oh, you better believe it
Because it's written all over your face
Just a neighborhood reject
Out of step and out of place
You better believe it

You gotta believe it
Because it's written all over your face
A political defect
Out of step and out of place
You better believe it

You gotta believe it
It's written all over your face
A subcultural reject
Out of step and out of place
You better believe it
You better believe it
Huh!
