Bad Religion
Frank Ocean Lyrics
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?
He said, "Allahu akbar"
I told him, "Don't curse me"
"Bo Bo, you need prayer"
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion, ooh
This unrequited love
To me, it's nothin' but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make 'em love me
Never make 'em love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love
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"
"Bo Bo, you need prayer"
I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
Oh, unrequited love
To me, it's nothin' but a one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I can never make them love me
Never make 'em love me
No, no, ah
It's a, it's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you
Oh, only bad, only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do

To comment on specific lyrics, highlight them
The fourteenth track on the album Channel Orange by Frank Ocean is a ballad where a heartbroken Frank Ocean confesses about his one-sided love.
The song follows the story of the artist in a taxi pouring his heart out to a supposedly Arabic speaking Muslim driver who in turn prays for him. The lyrics are nuanced but follow the idea of religion not accepting homosexuality and Ocean's hatred towards that dark reality.
