New Religion (Manchester Square Demo)

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 and 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

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

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
Oh, I'm 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 'n 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 get along fine with them friends of mine
How many reasons do they need?
But you have to make a choice
You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time
I might just believe this time
And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
Oh, I'm something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion

Gotta 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 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?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
How many reasons do they need?
But you have to make a choice
You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time
Just be right this time
And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
Oh, I'm something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion, yeah
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
Oh, I'm something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion
Oh, I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
