"Stubborn As Religion" lyrics

Stubborn as religion
That's stuck inside your system
All the people in the service
Look happier than you
Now you're dreaming of a life you never knew

No one tell the prophet
He's a goddamn alcoholic
'Cause his music's making money
And the crowds are always pleased
But he's dreaming of the man he used to be

All of your decisions
There in your rear view
Options of existence
Lives you never knew
And with all your apprehension
It's harder now to move
Dreaming of a life that got away from you

Glorify the simple
Before you acted on your impulse
We used to pray and eat together
Talk about tomorrow's weather
Then you told yourself there's more to life for you

Trying in the city
Where the bars are old and shitty
I've forgotten what I came for
What I carry all this pain for
Dreaming of a dream I never thought I'd lose

All of your decisions
There in your rear view
Options of existence
Lives you never knew
And with all your apprehension
It's harder now to move
Dreaming of a life that got away from you
Dreaming of a life that got away from you
