New Religion

I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime

Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I know

Faces everywhere, pulling grins and signs and things

Telling me, "Not there, man, it's no go"

I need a reason (I can't think without one now)

Too much learning got to show

Call it treason (Maybe catch her, don't know how)

Too many things, too much to know

I'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind

Lady screaming, lady, leave me out

'Cause sometimes people stare (Sitting down, electric chairs)

Steaming crowds, they gather and they shout

Don't know why this evil bothers me

(Take another chance, boy, carry the fight

You can take him if you're fast)

So, why is he trying to follow me?

(Didn't I say if you're holding on

You'd be laughing at the last?)

How many reasons do they need?

(Get along fine with them friends of mine

But you have to make a choice)

I might just believe this time

(Singing out of tune, but the beat's in time

And it's us who makes the noise)

I'm talking for free

I can't stop myself, it's a new religion, oh

I've something to see

I can't help myself, it's a new religion

Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun

But someone sees the departmental lie

You know this peace time, jabbing fist and stabbing knife

Only get one look before you die

Don't know why this evil bothers me

(Take another chance, boy, carry the fight

You can take him if you're fast)

So, why does he trying to follow me?

(Didn't I say if you're holding on

You'd be laughing at the last?)

How many reasons do they need?

(Get along fine with them friends of mine

But you have to make a choice)

I might just believe this time

(Singing out of tune, but the beat's in time

And it's us who makes the noise)

I'm talking for free

I can't stop myself, it's a new religion, oh

I've something to see

I can't help myself, it's a new religion

(Ooh, gotta take pay from the saints and sinners

In regulation hats and scarves and things)

Ooh, walk in formation down the lane

They carry their cross, make a church bell ring

Army majors pull a mean cool truth

There lying in a swimming pool

Searching for the undeniable truth

That a man is just a fool

Don't know why this evil follows me

(Take another chance, boy, carry the fight

You can take him if you're fast)

So, why does he trying to bother me?

(Didn't I say if you're holding on

You'd be laughing at the last?)

How many reasons do they need?

(Get along fine with them friends of mine

But you have to make a choice)

I might just be right this time

(Singing out of tune, but the beat's in time

And it's us who makes the noise)

I'm talking for free

I can't stop myself, it's a new religion, oh

I've something to see

I can't help myself, it's a new religion, yeah

I'm talking for free

I can't stop myself, it's a new religion, oh

I've something to see

I can't help myself, it's a new religion, oh

I'm talking for free

I can't stop myself, it's a new religion, oh
