Song meaning
Brett: "Bad Religion was just talking about how basically most religious people are hypocrites and religions, for all they're cracked up to be, haven't done mankind a whole lot of good."[1]
Versions
There are 3 different versions of the song:
- Bad Religion (EP) (1981)
- Public Service Comp (1981); 80-85 (1991); How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (Remastered) (2004)
- Back To The Known (1985)
Greg doesn't like how the three part harmonies on the third version were executed.[2]
