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 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 shouting bring about change ? I doubt it
|
All shouting 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 till I've made my decision
|
until then, I'm still fishin' 4 religion
|
