Development Arrested - Fishin' 4 Revolution lyrics

rate me

Grab the hook, grab the line<br />

Grab the bait, grab the box and wait<br />

Tackle and shackle the topic the faculty has chosen<br />

Chosen by many, chosen by plenty, chosen by any<br />

man or woman who understand<br />

the topic that's known and<br />

[Go by the dock] flock and clock the topic<br />

as I drop my hook and get a bite<br />

The reason I'm fishin' 4 a new religion<br />

is my church makes me fall asleep<br />

They're praising a God that watches you weep<br />

and doesn't want you to do a damn thing about it<br />

When they want change the preacher says "shout it"<br />

Does shouting bring about change ? I doubt it<br />

All shouting does is make you lose your voice<br />

So on the dock I sit in silence<br />

staring at a sea that's full of violence<br />

Scared to put my line in that water<br />

coz it seems like there's no religion in there<br />

Naively so I give it another go<br />

Sitting in church hearing legitimate woes<br />

Pastor tells the lady it'll be alright<br />

Just pray so you can see the pearly gates so white<br />

The lady prays and prays and prays and prays<br />

and prays and prays and prays and prays...it's everlasting<br />

"There's nothing wrong with praying ?" It's what she's asking<br />

She's asking the Lord to let her cope<br />

so one day she can see the golden ropes<br />

What you pray for God will give<br />

to be able to cope in this world we live<br />

The word "cope" and the word "change"<br />

is directly opposite, not the same<br />

She should have been praying to change her woes<br />

but pastor said "Pray to cope with those"<br />

The government is happy with most baptist churches<br />

coz they don't do a damn thing to try to nurture<br />

brothers and sisters on a revolution<br />

Baptist teaches dying is the only solution<br />

Passiveness causes others to pass us by<br />

I throw my line till I've made my decision<br />

until then, I'm still fishin' 4 religion<br />

<br />

Fishin' 4 religion (11x)<br />

Fish<br />

[Believe !]<br />

[Everybody in the house tonight...C'mon let me hear you say]<br />

[Fishin' !]
