Ocean, Frank - Bad Religion Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Taxi driver
Be my shrink for the hour
Leave the meter running
It's rush hour
Just outrun the demons, could you?
He said "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me
"But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
[Chorus]
This unrequited love
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult
I could never make him love me
Never make him love me
Love, love...
[Verse 2]
Taxi driver
I swear I've got three lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise
I can't trust no one
And you say "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me
"But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
[Chorus]
This unrequited love
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I could never make him love me
Never make him love me
No, no
[Outro]
It's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you
Only bad
Only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do

The organ sounds like Swing Swing from all american reject
Allah snackbar

-Frank ocean
of course I got a taxi ad on this song
Love this
i feel like he violated me
Best song
love this man
The pain of loving someone that could never love you. Or wishing you could love someone so bad but the feelings just aren't there. Unrequited love is nothing but a one man's cult. I could never make him love me...
criminally underrated,
this song deserves more attention
👌👌
You say alha ahkbar... Booom!
@Firas Ajeel wait wait wait. your saying that mocking Islam isn't racist. get a dictionary
@Firas Ajeel don't call me dude Idek and idec who you are
goochee Read the whole thing first.
@goochee mocking islam is islamophobic and prejudicial but not racist. racism is against somebody's race, and islam is not a race.
that being said, that comment was completely offensive and rude.
@Chloe oh yeah true
Underrated
Def Jam repost it on their SC page, there is milions but on yt still nothing x
@Nredup 82 sc?
@The Golden Era SC = Soundcloud
@Nredup 82 thanks
Aoife you are the love of my life and my forever life...
I LOVE THIS SONG SM
Religion or God can be the person you ended up worshipping and doesn't show you the love you deserve but abuse and neglect you. That's how I take this song
One of my favorite verses in any song is "Whether it's God or a bomb It's just the same it's only fear under another name". I take the song the same as you
ALLAH IS THE GREATEST. MUHAMMED IS HIS PROPHET
@Colt pedophile source bitch?
@Colt S T O O P I D T
@Colt could you actually read the Quran an the real Quran not wikipedia or whatever you learned that disrespect from. Just actually read the quran once in your life.
I respect every religion and I do believe in Jesus. Every Muslim needs to believe in Jesus.
@Colt I wish you a really happy day. I don't go on the Internet to bully people. Why would I? That's just terrible. And yes I know bullying someone isn't the subject but still. I don't know what is going on in you life but please don't disrespect anything or anyone. Have a blessed day.
@Amneh2801 _ I was getting kinda mad until I saw these last comments, people can get really defensive and that's not showing the good parts of a religion.
Why did the beggining sounded like Miley Cyru's we can't stop song!?! :') Good song BTW
Because nowadays pop music uses the same chord progressions, in the beggining its a 1-5-6-4. Google it if you are interested
cause Miley copied him btw this isn't pop
anyone from the trailer of 'Focus'?
whoever put those 2 dislikes there is a special place in hell for you
Chill the fuck out fucking hell
what a tragic song - frank really has captured the tragedy of falling for a person in a closed religion. Brilliant .
@Zorc Necrophades did you even read my comment? just because one person's interpretation isn't the same as the artists, doesn't mean its valid. art is meant to be interpreted. you are wrong for thinking otherwise.
@Chloe i peace
@Rayyan Yusuf sorry what
@Chloe your previous reply deserves a mic drop
@Rayyan Yusuf hahaha for real
[Verse 1]
Taxi driver
Be my shrink for the hour
Leave the meter running
It's rush hour
So take the streets if you wanna
Just outrun the demons, could you
[Hook]
He said "Allahu akbar"
I told him, "Don't curse me"
"Bo Bo, you need prayer"
I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
This unrequited love
To me it's nothing but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make him love me
Never make him love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love

[Outro]
It's a, it's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you
Only bad, only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do
is it not "oh boy, you need prayer" ?
Naila Aslam but boy
Bobo* is a common slang term among the Hispanic diaspora meaning “foolish person” or “dummy.” This further places the taxi driver in the immigrant community, exasperated by this bougie kid’s first world problems.
In a Sierra Leonean language, Krio, “bobo"means "boy.” This reading would both emphasise the immigrant roots of the taxi driver and potentially allude to the fourth track on the album, “Sierra Leone.”
The taxi driver’s insistence that Frank “needs prayer” can be read as a sincere belief that it might be the most helpful thing for Frank at that moment, or it might be exasperation speaking (see also: “that boy needs Jesus”). However, it is the only tonic that Frank’s pseudo-shrink prescribes.
* This can also be heard as “but boy,” and provide a double meaning, but Channel Orange’s liner notes confirm “bo bo” is the correct lyric.
doesn’t it change to make them love me
youtube the comments are glorious. STOP REUPLOADING PLSS
Love this song
