On Throwing Away The Song
Religion in its broadest sense, then, must be another term for that obscurity that surrounds men’s efforts to defend himself by curative or preventive means against his own violence.
Religion shelters us from violence just as violence seeks shelter in religion.

Bad Company
A company always on the run
A destiny, oh it’s the rising sun
I was born, a shotgun in my hands
Behind the gun
I’ll make my final stand, yeah
That’s why they call meBad company
I can’t deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I dieRebel souls
Deserters we’ve been called
Chose a gun
And threw away the song
Now these towns
Well they all know our name
The death punch sound
Is the claim of fame
And that’s why they call meBad company
I can’t deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die“Eye for an eye”
“Tooth for a tooth”
“Blood for…
And that’s why they call me
Bad company
I won’t deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Bad company
I won’t deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I dieSongwriters: Paul Rodgers / Paul Bernard Rodgers / Simon
