this song is about the theory of mediocrity. It is also my personnal favorite BR song. The lyrics are very strong, and the music is probably the best in the whole stranger than fiction era. It is a very loud and fast paced punk rock song suggesting that there is nothing special about the world and especially about humans, starting from the point that the human race may be an error of the evolution. The second verse sums up the theory pretty well. Why should beauty (and all of the others religious caracteristics) be associated at the human race, while there's a lot of people suffering from disgusting acts commited to and by humans... Suffering looks like it may be the major argument of Graffin against religion.

Well right off the bat i want to say that this is, lyrically and musically, my favorite bad religion song. on to my interpretation. the song is about the slow decay of morality and society in america, with lines such as "the stories of our childhood condition us to think that beauty is a basic human trait, but how do they reconcile with daily realities, like poverty dominance and rape" and "there is far more disorder, than there is harmony", it proves to be a satire of the decadence we experience of morality.
