Flat top pave-ment com-fort me     Like a chemical reaction or a steamroller spreading randomly  There=D5s a distant fuzz of a frequency  It tickles my ears rustles under my feet  And it shakes the leaves off of every tree Vio-lent-ly  What protection everlasting peace  Everything must cease In-sti-tu-tion on the hill    Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to remind the people’s will  There’s a shadow stain on the west facade  It is spread like a cave to entrap the pod  And the decent folks find it oh so odd Oh so odd  What protection everlasting peace  Everything must cease  (Pluck 6th string only -- this part is slow) Brave me-mo-rials hewn white stone  Like the comforting caress of a mother or a friend you’ve always known  (Strum from here -- resumes normal Bad Religion tempo)  It evokes such pain and significance What was once is reduced to remembrance  And the generations pass without recompense Aa-aaaa-hhh...  What protection everlasting peace  Everything must cease
