Chords

As recorded by Bad Religion (From the 1992 Album GENERATOR) [Intro] A F A F A [Verse 1]
A                                    F
A sullen figure walked along a dusty road

A                                          C
His life was holy and he couldn't bear the load

A
He left his people and a simple life behind

A
He raised his torso and he looked into the sky
[Chorus]
    D                   F
Shouting his questions, looking for directions

A
"What do I do now?"
[Verse 2]
A        F                               A
Now a confused school girl stares at the TV tray

                                        C
The stresses of maturing compound every day

A
She glances up to see her favorite video

A
And gets ideas from Madonna's nasty clothes
[Chorus]
   D                      F
In need of affection, she craves the directions

    F                 A
Her heroes offer her
[Bridge]
D                      A          
Everyone's looking for something

         C          G         A                 
And they assume somebody else knows what it is

D                          A                      
No one can live with the decisions of their own

   C              G#      D       A#              
It seems, so they look to someone else

   E                                          
To tell 'em what to be, tell 'em what to wear

E                                                   
Tell 'em what to say, tell 'em how to act and think

E                                                       A     
Compel others compulsively, until the world is all like them
[Guitar Solo] A F A F A G D F A F A F A [Verse 3]
A                                                
A righteous student came and asked me to reflect

                                            C    
He judged my lifestyle was politically incorrect

A                                                  
I don't believe in self-important folks who preach

                                           C     
No Bad Religion song can make your life complete

   D                          F        C            A    F A   F         
Prepare for rejection, you'll get no direction from me
[Outro]
       A                        
You'll get no direction from me

                F            A    
You'll get no direction from me

F        A    F A  F A  C A         
One, two!
