*** the hoop, *** the line *** the bait, *** the box and wait And tackle and shackle the topic the faculty has chosen Chosen by many, chosen by plenty Chosen by any man or woman That can't understand the topic that's known and Nobody knows! Clock and clock the topic as I drop my hook and get a bite The reason I'm fishing for a new religion Is my church makes me fall asleep They're praising the God that watches you eat 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 sound 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 Cause it seems like no religion's in there Naively so, I give it another go Sitting in church, sharing legitimate woes Pastor tells the lady it'll be alright Spray so you can see the pearly gates are white The lady prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and prays and It's everlasting, there's nothing wrong with praying It's what she's asking She's asking the Lord to let it come 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 hope and the word change Is directly opposite, not the same She should've been praying to change her woes But pastor said pray to cope with those The government's happy with most Baptist churches Cause we don't do a damn thing to try to nurture Brothers and sisters on a revolution Baptist teachers dying is the only solution Passiveness causes others to pass us by I throw my line until I make my decision Until then, I'm still fishing for religion Before we understand Fishing for religion Fishing for religion Fishing for religion For religion Fishing for religion Fishing for religion Fishing for religion Fishing for religion Fishing for religion Fishing for religion Fishing for religion Fishing for religion Fishing Fishing for religion I don't know where I'm looking But I know it's back at the spot Religion, religion La la la la la la la la la Everybody in the house tonight Come on, let me hear you say Hear you say La la la la la la la la la la Hear you say La la la la la la la la la la Hear you say La la la la la la la la la la I gotta go to church!
