Arrested Development - Fishin' 4 Religion lyrics

Your rating:

Grab the bait, grab the box and wait
 Tackle and shackle the topic the faculty has chosen
 Chosen by many, chosen by plenty, chosen by any
 man or woman who can't understand
 the topic that's known and
 [Go by the dock] flock and clock the topic
 as I drop my hook and get a bite
 The reason I'm fishin' 4 a new religion
 is my church makes me fall asleep
 They're praising a God that watches you weep
 and doesn't want you to do a damn thing about it
 When they want change the preacher says "shout it"
 Does shout bring about change ? I doubt it
 All shout does is make you lose your voice
 So on the dock I sit in silence
 staring at a sea that's full of violence
 Scared to put my line in that water
 coz it seems like there's no religion in there
 Naively so I give it another go
 Sitting in church hearing legitimate woes
 Pastor tells the lady it'll be alright
 Just pray so you can see the pearly gates so white
 The lady prays and prays and prays and prays
 and prays and prays and prays and prays...it's everlasting
 There's nothing wrong with praying, it's what she's asking
 She's asking the Lord to let her cope
 so one day she can see the golden ropes
 What you pray for God will give
 to be able to cope in this world we live
 The word "cope" and the word "change"
 is directly opposite, not the same
 She should have been praying to change her woes
 but pastor said "Pray to cope with those"
 The government is happy with most baptist churches
 coz they don't do a damn thing to try to nurture
 brothers and sisters on a revolution
 Baptist teaches dying is the only solution
 Passiveness causes others to pass us by
 I throw my line until I've made my decision
 until then, I'm still fishin' 4 religion

 Fishin' 4 religion (11x)
