Too Much to Ask Songtext

von Bad Religion

Worum geht es in dem Song?

In dem Songtext "Too Much to Ask" von Bad Religion geht es um die Sorge um die Welt und die Frage, ob wir zu weit gehen ...

A refreshing plunge
A drink of palatable water
A deep inspiration on a warm summer day
A safe stroll in a middle f the road community
A neighbor who in times of need will not turn away

I ain't no politician
I am a citizen
And I wonder if I'm living too far out of bounds

Community protection
Rehabilitation
Police that serve without legitimate right to maim
Global awareness
Ecological guilt
Cultural and environmental awakening

I ain't no optimist
I try to be a realist
And I wonder if I'm thinking too far out of bounds

Is it too much to ask
Could it be the earth is shirnking
I can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore

Remote control
Three cars for every family
Corruption at the expense of the simple majority
A violent clash
A plunder of the third world
Any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy

I ain't no blind supporter
I'm a conscious citizen
And I know that we are living too far out of bounds

Is it too much to ask
Can we keep the earth from sinking
I can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore
You better not take it for granted anymore
I'm not taking nothing for granted anymore
