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

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

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?

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

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

(I'm talking for free)

It's a new religion

(I've something to see)

It's a new religion
