Bad Religion ~ Protrait Of Authority


Nothing more, nothing less, In icon on the wall decoration and duress, Which many strive to be, It's the marble statue standing over me, And nobody has the will to tear it down, It determines wrong and right, But to me it's just a stereotype And it makes us lose our sight The portrait of authority, You tell me that's what i'm supposed to be (it embodies what he cannot be) Another time, another man, An oppressive intrusion And a plague across his land, And it haunts him every day, It tells him he has no chance His hopes just fades away, And he lives his life prepared to tear it down, But he can't muster the support, And to him it's just a stereotype Of his life-long fight more free lyrics

Nothing more, nothing less,
In icon on the wall decoration and duress,
Which many strive to be,
It's the marble statue standing over me,
And nobody has the will to tear it down,
It determines wrong and right,
But to me it's just a stereotype
And it makes us lose our sight

The portrait of authority,
You tell me that's what i'm supposed to be
(it embodies what he cannot be)

Another time, another man,
An oppressive intrusion
And a plague across his land,
And it haunts him every day,
It tells him he has no chance
His hopes just fades away,
And he lives his life prepared to tear it down,
But he can't muster the support,
And to him it's just a stereotype
Of his life-long fight

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
