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 Don't go there boy 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
