| 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 passing 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 |
