Flat top pave-ment com-fort me Like a chemical reaction or a steamroller, spreading randomly There=D5s a distant fuzz of a frequency It tickles my ears, rustles under my feet And it shakes the leaves off of every tree Vio-lent-ly What protection everlasting peace Everything must cease In-sti-tu-tion on the hill Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to remind the people's will There's a shadow stain on the west facade It is spread like a cave to entrap the pod And the decent folks find it oh so odd Oh so odd What protection everlasting peace Everything must cease (Pluck 6th string only -- this part is slow) Brave me-mo-rials hewn white stone Like the comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known (Strum from here -- resumes normal Bad Religion tempo) It evokes such pain and significance What was once is reduced to remembrance And the generations pass without recompense Aa-aaaa-hhh... What protection everlasting peace Everything must cease
