New Religion - Live at Oakland Coliseum, Oakland, CA, 14/04/1984; 2004 Remaster

I've been now sauntering
 Out and down the path sometime
 Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew
 Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in 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
 ♪
 Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
 Lady screaming, lady leave me out
 'Cause sometimes people stare
 Coming down, electric chair
 And 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?
 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
 I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
 It's a new religion
 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 peacetime jabbing fist in 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 is he trying to follow me?
 Didn't I say if you're holding on
 You'd be laughing at the last

 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
 I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
 It's a new religion
 I've something to see, I can't help myself
 It's a new religion
 Gotta take pay 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
 There lying in a swimming pool
 Searching for the undeniable truth that
 A man is just a fool
 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?

 It's a new religion
 (I'm talking for free)
 It's a new religion
