A sullen figure walks along a dusty road
His life was holy and he couldn't bear the load
He left his people and a simple life behind
He raised his torso and looked into the sky

Shouting his questions, looking for directions, "What do I do now?"

Now a confused schoolgirl sits at the T.V. tray
The stresses of maturing compound every day
She glances up to see her favorite video
And gets ideas from Madonna's nasty clothes

In need of affection, she craves a direction, her heroes offer her

Everyone's looking for something
And they a__ume somebody else knows what it is
No one can live without decisions of their own
It seems so they look to someone else

To tell them what to be, tell'em what to wear, tell'em what to say
Tell'em how to act and think
And compel others compulsively until the world is all like them

A righteous student came and asked me to reflect
He judged my lifestyle, was politically incorrect
I don't believe in self-important folks who preach
No Bad Religion song can make your life complete
Prepare for rejection, you'll get no direction from me
