- Vanity LyricsI'll strike it if I don't like it
Gimme a club and I will have myself a riot
I'm a monkey with a brick on my shoulder
And I'm getting bolder
Let's deny and defame
Let's destroy and recreate in our glorious name
And when the joke of our centrality is upon us
Grovel and decry
Our vanity
Disgraced to face our own humanity
In a world that mocks our tragedy
Hyper-aware and impaired
Terrified by natures mocking stare
Yearning for significance beyond our animal ken
On which we do depend
Such vanity
Isolated with our own inanity
Entangled by our callow gravity
Disgraced to face our own humanity
Gimme a club and I will have myself a riot
I'm a monkey with a brick on my shoulder
And I'm getting bolder
Let's deny and defame
Let's destroy and recreate in our glorious name
And when the joke of our centrality is upon us
Grovel and decry
Our vanity
Disgraced to face our own humanity
Hyper-aware and impaired
Terrified by natures mocking stare
Yearning for significance beyond our animal ken
On which we do depend
Such vanity
Isolated with our own inanity
Entangled by our callow gravity
Disgraced to face our own humanity

When we try to piece together the story behind the words, Bad Religion's 'Vanity' song is a thorough research on the idea of human haughtiness and self-worth. The writer employs a metaphor that presents human beings as monkeys with bricks on their shoulders, which illustrates their pride as a heavy load. The song points out the very commonly seen human vice and at the same time underscores the irony of seeking importance and yet being caught up in the insignificant and the vain. Though the lyrics of the Vanity mostly refer to reflection, angst, social commentary, despair, and anger, they also signal the contrary along with humanity and self-knowledge, vanity and isolation as well as destruction and recreation.
