Fishin' 4 Religion Lyrics - 3 Years 5 Months & 2 Days In The Life Of-- - Arrested Development

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 

Fishin' 4 religion, fish, believe
