The Fast Life Lyrics by Bad Religion

The New America

2000

[Verse 1]
The silent stray inertia, no burden on my back
No turbulence, no ballast, no chance of looking back
It doesn't matter what's ahead, in time, I'll hit it hard
No fixing my position, no sign of retard

[Chorus]
It's the fast life (There's nothing I can do)
The fast life (Suck it in and follow through)
The fast life (Just learning as I go)
You might call it careless, but this fast life
Is all I've ever known

[Verse 2]
Like a wispy feather defying gravity
Or a rolling cobble in the middle of the stream
Propelled by a ghost force that never shows his face
Increase the ante of this perpetual pace

[Chorus]
It's the fast life (There's nothing I can do)
The fast life (Suck it in and follow through)
The fast life (Just learning as I go)
You might call it careless, but this fast life
Is all I've ever known

[Verse 3]
Ever since the day I came out of the womb
My head was always bouncing off the walls in the room
Always scratching gravel, covering new ground
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't pin me down

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
It's just the fast life (There's nothing I can do)
The fast life (Suck it in and follow through)
The fast life (Just learning as I go)
You might call it careless, but this fast life
Is all I've ever known

[Outro]
Yeah, it's all I've ever known
It's all I've ever known
This fast life is all I've known
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
It's all I've ever known
