Yo
I used to go to church and life was good
Man that cupped red wine was some filling spiritual food
Rude, that's what I thought of all those haters
Who woudn't take communion and sung cellphones their praises
Because god has a purpose for each one and all
And the soul of a sinner can always be absolved
Cold, that's the water when it hit me
One night I prayed for salvation and he didn't convince me
See, I was getting sh** from people I really didn't like
f**ed up my mind and my soul and my goddamn life
Rife was the acrimony and hence where to turn?
To the father, our saviour, surely he could discern
I was an unhappy chappy and I looked for support
Some life game-change please make me happy once more
Remove the ills in my life, those mental obstacles that I so abhor
But no more, in times of strife my father failed to save me
I was in a mental vacuum man, depressed, and that sh** crazy
I could barely think the self-doubt all at once invaded
And when you can't believe in you then you believe in god
But I can tell you man everyday it was just the bog
Doesn't matter how hard you try, how hard you weep
How deep you prostrate yourself at his sacred feet
He'll never answer because he don't care
Yo he sold us freedom and yeah that's a curse and a half
No transcendental support while lady liberty laughs
Barf, fellas it sure is a f**ed up system
You know you're gonna die, the subject of a timeless prison
We build temples to God but we know they don't work
Because if they did then this brutality we'd shirk
I tell you it irks me all this free choice sh**
I guess we're stuck with it, but what it means is we can't
Sit around and wait for God to speak when we're down in the pit (Rip!)
So hang onto your friends, respect and always listen'em
Because they'll mitigate the sizzle of this goddamn opaque prism
Chorus:
I call out
But he can't hear
Please dear God
Just let me near
I'm down low
But can't you see?
Just give me a small tab
Of Ecstasy
[While Hook is sung and repeated] (Spoken) Free will. Yeah, it's a blessing many respects
But it also removes any omniscient physical offering of guidance
This means we're constantly subjected to harmful evil in other people
In order to stay strong, we must actively fight evil in our own lives, and not simply rely on blinded prayer for every answer
Friends and family are pillars of our short and fated lives
