New Religion

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been now sauntering Out and down the path sometime Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I know Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs ‘n 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 [Verse 2] I'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind Lady screaming, lady, leave me out ‘Cause sometimes people stare Sitting down, electric chair Steaming crowds, they gather, and they shout [Pre-Chorus] [Backing vocal Simon LeBon lead vocal] 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? I get along fine with them friends of mine But you have to make a choice I might just believe this time You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time And it's us who makes the noise [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun But someone sees the departmental lie You know this peacetime jabbing fist ‘n stabbing knife Only get one look before you die [Pre-Chorus] [Backing vocal Simon LeBon lead vocal] 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? I get along fine with them friends of mine But you have to make a choice I might just believe this time You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time And it's us who makes the noise [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] Got to take pay for the saints 'n sinners In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things Walking in formation down the lane They carry their cross, make a church bell ring Army majors pull a mean cool truth They're lying in a swimming pool Searching for the undeniable truth that A man is just a fool [Pre-Chorus] [Backing vocal Simon LeBon lead vocal] 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? I get along fine with them friends of mine But you have to make a choice I might just believe this time You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time And it's us who makes the noise [Outro] 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 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
