As recorded by Bad Religion (From the 1998 Album NO SUBSTANCE) [Intro] D F C D C
D               F              C
History doesn't make something right

D                  C
Consensus is not a fact-based exercise

D               Bb            F              C
You're tied and bound to this self indulgent enterprise

N.C.     D      C  D  F C  D   F C
We call America
[Verse 1]
  D                    F        C
A brush with a star, a token of love

  D                  C
A name in the sand, enough is enough

  D              F           C
A diet of air, a face on the net

  D                       F          C
A fish in your palm, your television set
[Pre-Chorus]
D    Bb     F         C         D  Bb    F          C
Once you convince yourself, the universe falls into place

       D         Bb            F        C
You've got your ideas and your posse of friends

    D           Bb            F   C
You all make up rules and the fun never ends
[Chorus]
    D                                   F           C
But still there's a problem, leaves you gasping for air

    D                                   F              C
You look for some meaning, blank smiles are all that's there

    D                    F           C
And still water stales a soft summer breeze

    D                             F            C
You cling to your hopes while you drop to your knees

           A  D C Bb F C A
There's no substance

              D
There's no substance
[Interlude] C D F C D C D C D C D C [Pre-Chorus]
D    Bb     F         C         D  Bb    F          C
Once you convince yourself, the universe falls into place

       D         Bb            F        C
You've got your ideas and your posse of friends

    D           Bb            F   C
You all make up rules and the fun never ends
[Chorus]
    D                                   F           C
But still there's a problem, leaves you gasping for air

    D                                   F              C
You look for some meaning, blank smiles are all that's there

    D                    F           C
And still water stales a soft summer breeze

    D                             F            C
You cling to your hopes while you drop to your knees

           A  D C Bb F C A
There's no substance
