(VERSE):(Em)I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime. Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew 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 (D) (C) (Em)Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind. Lady screaming, lady leave me out 'cause sometimes people stare Coming down, electric chair And 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 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 beat's in time And it's us who make the noise (CHORUS):(D)I'm talking for (C)free, I can't (Am)stop myself, it's a new(G) religion (D)I've something to (C)see, I can't (Am)help myself, it's a new (G)religion (VERSE):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 Don't know why this evil follows me Gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners In regulation hats 'n' scarves 'n' things So why does he try to bother me? Walking in formation down the lane They carry their cross make a church bell ring How many reasons do they need? Army majors pull a mean cool truth There lying in a swimming pool I might just be right this time Searching for the undeniable truth That a man is just a fool (CHORUS)
