I Wish I Had Religion


Somebody creeping into my dreams
Grabs my hand and I wake with a scream
I don’t know how this ties into
What I’m working through, in my subconscious
My subconscious
There’s a feeling that I can’t pin down
Turn that frown upside down
I’d like to say it’ll be alright
I’d like to go to sleep tonight,
unconscious
unconscious

I wish I had religion
At least that way I could pray
I wish I had religion
At least that way I could pray

The wind is blowing hard again
However much that we pretend
Fanatics, fools and demagogues
let slip the dogs of war
The dogs of war

They pay me for what’s in my head
I’d like to build something instead
So obsessed with how we look
Eyes on phones, never read a book
Unconscious
Unconscious

She drove her car out to the lake
Kissed their cheeks, released the brake
Couldn’t see a future bright
Said kids we’re going to sleep tonight
Unconscious
Unconscious

I wish I had religion
At least that way I could pray
I wish I had religion
At least that way I could pray

Got a feeling that I can’t define
Looking over my shoulder all the time
I’ d like to say it’ll be alright
I’d like to sleep right through the night,
unconscious
unconscious

I wish I had religion
At least that way I could pray
I wish I had religion
At least that way I could pray
