New Religion Songtext
von Duran Duran

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 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's got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her, don't know how
Too many things, too much to know

I bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
′Cause sometimes people stare
Sitting down, electric chairs
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

Take another chance boy, carry the fight (don′t know why this)
You can take him if you're fast (evil bothers me)
Didn′t I say if you're holding on (so why is he trying)
You′d be laughing at the last (to follow me?)


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

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

Take another chance boy, carry the fight (don′t know why this)
You can take him if you're fast (evil bothers me)
Didn′t I say if you're holding on (so why is he trying)
You'd be laughing at the last (to follow me?)

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


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

Take another chance boy, carry the fight (don't know why this)
You can take him if you′re fast (evil bothers me)
Didn't I say if you′re holding on (so why is he trying)
You'd be laughing at the last (to follow me?)

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

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

New religion, yeah
New religion
