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
