Arrested Development ~ Fishin' 4 Religion

Fishin' 4 Religion - Listen

Grab the hook, grab the line
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
