Lyrics for Anxiety as interpreted by oofus

Anxiety Lyrics
It's a love song to the self, a story recapped every day,
It's a world of bogus feelings and a world of slow decay,
It's a world of laughter hidden by this world of fear and torment,
It's a game of strange compulsion, our visceral convulsion:
for love of life, anxiety for pain,
, a feeling that you know you can't contain.
destroys us but it drives the common man.
Foundation of society, anxiety. Suppress it if you can.
The caste of coffee achievers didn't perform like they planned.
The morning rush hour traffic is our play of false elan.
So run around your frantic track and lay you down to sleep;
Tomorrow's the redemption, we strive for that exception.
for love of life, anxiety for pain,
, a fear that you have nothing more to gain.
destroys us but it drives the common man.
Foundation of society, anxiety. Suppress it if you can.
What are we angry for?
We all need a common cure.
That common goal for which you strive:
To have more than the other (have more than the other) guy.
The quest for truth, the quest for gold, yeah, we end up all the same
The common lie, the righteous cry, we end up all the same.
The angry crowd, those lost and found, everybody's all the same.
The poet's pen, these words I lend, we all bend to
for love of life, anxiety for pain,
, a feeling that you know you can't contain.
destroys us but it drives the common man.
Foundation of society, anxiety.

This is a pretty good Bad Religion song, it seems to have all the same themes as most bad religion songs, about how fucked up society and today's world is. WHich it is.

Well i'd say this song is about anxiety.... Saying how it's a natural, or existing part of life at least. Which it is, foundation of society, infact = anxiety. If someone living within the staous quo stops doing that, quits his daily job e.t.c. and daily routine and schemes. Anxiety will most likely kick in after a while and most likely he'll/she'll go back to it's daily routines and schemes cause of it -

"a fear that you have nothing more to gain. destroys us but it drives the common man."

While someone trying to do something on his/her own living outside the statous quo feels the same anxiety trying to draw her/him to do what everyone else does and into the staous quo. But even if this person does do something different on it's own, still the driving force is most likely the anxiety. - Foundation of society. Basically meaning if we break free from society and stray away from it, anxiety will still lead us to do something. Just that we'll do something different instead.

Yep, anxiety. Everyone gets it, everyone wants to get rid of it but it keeps society working.

"What are we angry for?
We all need a common cure."
