Moon Walker
New God
[Verse 1]
I stood at the altar
And worshiped a stranger
Baptized in the water
And absolved of my pain

I thought you were holy
I thought you could save me
I gave you my future
And you don’t know my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Guess this is the thanks that I get?
You cast me out and you throw me away
Everything must come to an end
You’ve already died twice
You can still be replaced

[Chorus]
We need a new god
We need a savior
Maybe a new start
Isn’t the worst idea

We need a new god
A great entertainer
We need an angel
Or something that looks like it
[Post-Chorus]
New god
Someone who can save us from the way we are
We need a new start
We’ll blame all of our problems on the old one
New God

[Verse 2]
Raise your boys to be sons
And your girls to be daughters
To walk in a straight line
And do as they’re told

Tell them they’re worth only as much as they’re making
That no one will love them if they don’t fit the mold

[Chorus]
We need a new god
We need a savior
Maybe a new start
Isn’t the worst idea

We need a new god
A great entertainer
We need an angel
Or something that looks like it
[Post-Chorus]
New god
Someone who can save us from the way we are
We need a new start
We’ll blame all of our problems on the old one
New God
