Arrested Development - Fishin' 4 Religion Lyrics
Grab the hook, grab the lineGrab the bait, grab the box and waitTackle and shackle the topic the faculty has chosenChosen by many, chosen by plenty, chosen by anyman or woman who can't understandthe topic that's known and[Go by the dock] flock and clock the topicas I drop my hook and get a biteThe reason I'm fishin' 4 a new religionis my church makes me fall asleepThey're praising a God that watches you weepand doesn't want you to do a damn thing about itWhen they want change the preacher says "shout it"Does shout bring about change ? I doubt itAll shout does is make you lose your voiceSo on the dock I sit in silencestaring at a sea that's full of violenceScared to put my line in that watercoz it seems like there's no religion in thereNaively so I give it another goSitting in church hearing legitimate woesPastor tells the lady it'll be alrightJust pray so you can see the pearly gates so whiteThe lady prays and prays and prays and praysand prays and prays and prays and prays...it's everlastingThere's nothing wrong with praying, it's what she's askingShe's asking the Lord to let her copeso one day she can see the golden ropesWhat you pray for God will giveto be able to cope in this world we liveThe word "cope" and the word "change"is directly opposite, not the sameShe should have been praying to change her woesbut pastor said "Pray to cope with those"The government is happy with most baptist churchescoz they don't do a damn thing to try to nurturebrothers and sisters on a revolutionBaptist teaches dying is the only solutionPassiveness causes others to pass us byI throw my line until I've made my decisionuntil then, I'm still fishin' 4 religionFishin' 4 religion (11x)Fish[Believe !][Everybody in the house tonight...C'mon let me hear you say][Fishin ]
