Bad Religion is a punk rock band from Los Angeles, California, known for the social commentary in their lyrics. The band was formed in 1979 by high school students Greg Graffin (vocals), Jay Bentley (bass guitar), Jay Ziskrout (drums), and Brett Gurewitz (guitar). In 1981, they released their eponymous debut EP on their own newly-formed label, Epitaph, managed and owned by Gurewitz. 1982 saw the release of their first full-length album, How Could Hell be Any Worse?, which gained them a sizable following.

__Intro__ G | D | Em | C G | D | G | D
__Verse__ GD Papa had a wife and kids, he kept them on a leash EmC and he bid them all to do his every deed. GD When he was a kid he was treated just the same EmC so he hid his feelings from his family.
__Pre-Chorus__ GD Lost as an island out at sea, EmD resistant to the gentle waves of empathy, yeah!
__Chorus__ CDEm Papa and his family always on parade CDEm Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade. GD But time will tell CDEm as their world crumbles to hell. D What they created... CDGEm ...was a family story no one will tell CDGEm It's a photo album too terrible CDGEm But the pride and the pallor continue to swell CDEm And the matron silently prays.
__Pre-Verse__ D
__Verse__ Junior resented the tradition they upheld and it ate him up inside most every day Silence was golden and they kept him to his word So bewildered when he finally ran away
__Pre-Chorus__ Oh, obligations never cease Oblivious of the ways to give his soul some peace, yeah!
__Chorus__ Papa and his family always on parade Passing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade. But time will tell as their world crumbles to hell.

__Final Chorus__ (one addional line!)
