Graffin’s song meaning is all about how humans struggle to form their own world view. He explains that religion was an easy target because it claims to offer a world view, but it doesn’t resonate with us. The recording of the song includes a silent break at the end where Greg says “I want something… (silence)… moooooore.” This was achieved by splicing a piece of blank leader tape to the recorded tape, resulting in complete silence. The same method was used at the end of Blenderhead.

I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
