Bad day shadows my flow
Troubles of this world
A hard path to my door
Walking through the streets
Tail lights bleeding all over my feet
Wind like a rusted razor cuttin' lines in my face this deep
I see a reborn ghost. And every pa**ing glance
Some things can't be held no matter how firm your grasp
You'll never find religion in a perfectly clean soul
You'll never find religion in a bottom of a bucket with a big ole' hole
Clogged arteries
This world keeps time with no beating heart
I see it everywhere I go brother how it tears us all apart
There's less space in each of our souls than on a Manhattan subway car at rush hour
If you wanna buy back a little mercy you better first look at the price you gotta pay
Missed her so much that you been sleeping in her shoes
You ain't go the blues brother, cause it's the blues that got you
You can't find religion, not in a perfectly clean soul
You can't find religion at the bottom of abucket with big ole' hole
Jack of diamons buried deep up my longest sleeve
Through the rain and ghetto cross the rotting concrete
I go there to find my people, say a prayer upon their sins
The virgin Mary, she got a supple bosom and fresh ink in her skin
Alone in the crowd here
Across your forehead fallin like a
Dark ribbon in a highway opening up
Swinging a hammer in society's dark chaingang
I coulda sworn i hear somebody say
You'll never find religion in a perfectly clean soul
I said you ain't never gonna find religion
Unless you got a bucket with a big fat hole
Never find religion, not in a perfectly clean soul
You never find religion
Not in a perfectly clean soul
You never find a religion
Unless it's at the bottom
Of a bucket with a big ole' hole
Can't find religion
