Duran Duran
New Religion (Live)
[Verse 1]
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 ‘n 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
[Backing vocal Simon LeBon lead vocal]
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance, boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
[Backing vocal Simon LeBon lead vocal]
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance, boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
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
[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
I got to 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
They're lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that
A man is just a fool

[Pre-Chorus]
[Backing vocal Simon LeBon lead vocal]
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance, boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
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
[Outro]
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, yeah
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion
Oh, I'm talking for free
…New religion, yeah
I'm talking for free
New religion

Thank you
