New Religion (A dialogue between the ego and the alter ego)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been now sauntering out and down a 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 (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

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)

And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

<chorus>

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 holdin' 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 beats

in time. And it's us who make the noise)

I'm talking for free. I can't stop myself, It's a new religion

I've something to see, I help myself, It's a new religion

<end chorus>

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

Gotta take pay from 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, they're a-lying in the swimming pool

Searching for the undeniable truth, that a man is just a fool

<repeat chorus>
