New Religion

[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
