New Religion - Conductor Williams

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

Here all alone in the darkness Won't you come play on my weakness? You know I'm here and I feel it, come on When we collide like a car crash You're my condition, my whiplash Comin' alive when we're in distortion When the lights are low Oh, it's callin' I can hear your Distorted heartbeat play with mine Baby, don't kill the rhythm Baby, don't kill the rhythm Do what you want to, I don't mind We found a new religion Baby, don't kill the rhythm You kick me down like four to the floor I come alive every time your Distorted heartbeat play with mine We found a new religion Baby, don't kill the rhythm Ain't got no time for no silence The sound of your voice is my guidance You're always there when I need it, come on You know that you're my addiction You got me lovin' this friction Comin' alive when we're in distortion When the lights are low Oh, it's callin' I can hear your Distorted heartbeat play with mine Baby, don't kill the rhythm Baby, don't kill the rhythm Do what you want to, I don't mind We found a new religion Baby, don't kill the rhythm You kick me down like four to the floor I come alive every time your Distorted heartbeat play with mine We found a new religion Baby, don't kill the rhythm We found a new religion Baby, don't kill the rhythm We found a new religion Baby, don't kill the rhythm I can hear your Distorted heartbeat play with mine Baby, don't kill the rhythm Baby, don't kill the rhythm Do what you want to, I don't mind We found a new religion Baby, don't kill the rhythm You kick me down like four to the floor I come alive every time your Distorted heartbeat play with mine We found a new religion (no, no) Baby, don't kill the rhythm

It was early Sunday morning Everyone in the house was still asleep She made some toast and coffee Took a shower and made herself smell sweet She said, "I don't want a bus ride, I believe that the walk might help me think Got a heart kind of heavy I need some big hat and gloves, shoes and bag religion!" Religion That's my decision Some of that "make me feel better when I shout!" religion That's my decision Papa Henry was full of spice He was a man usually nice But something got into him last night Made him want to fuss and hollar The entire house was in a sweat His bottle got broken and the floor got wet "Clean it up!" you could hear him scream Then he said, "I'm going out" I need religion Religion That's my decision Some of that "raise up the roof, 90 proof" religion That's my decision Religion It's my decision, oh yes it is That's my decision It's the story about a good family Who doesn't live anymore in good harmony They are people who love their daughter and son They try to give them religion Little Billy likes his best friend Jack How in the world could he be like that Mama and Henry wanna have that chat Boy, you need religion Little Betty, whatcha gonna do? There's a child growing inside of you You should've stopped and thought things through Little girl you need a vision of religion Religion And that's my decision Some of that "how'd I get on Rikki Lake" religion That's my decision Religion Get a little, Religion Get a little Religion

Tu amor fue mi salvación Tu amor como creer en Dios Como creer en dios Como creer en Dios Si me mantengo en pie es por ella Por mi gitana canastera que bien me hizo Amarte es una religión Y uno la siente con pasión Tanto te debo Tanto te amo Siento que crecen más con los años Los dos bien cogidos de la mano Podemos con lo malo Contigo lo tengo todo Más no le pido a la vida Hasta el tiempo se me para Cuando tú me miras Y es que me mantiene firme Mi verdad más verdadera Es que tu amor me hace bien Como la primavera Ni por to' el oro del mundo te cambio Las riquezas yo la tengo en mi cuarto Rosario, Triana, mi vida Muestro mi corazón Nadie me lo quita con estos sentimientos muero yo No habrá otra mujer, solo tú y yo Sólo tú sabes hacerme feliz Mis deseos son siempre contigo Este amor es eterno Tuyo lo que tengo cariño Este amor es eterno (este amor es eterno) Como un hada te siento, lo que tengo Contigo lo tengo todo Mas no le pido a la vida Y hasta el tiempo se me para Cuando tú me miras Y es que me mantiene firme Mi verdad más verdadera Es que tu amor me hace el bien Como la primavera Gracias por sacarme de ese mundo de mentiras Y regalarme los mejores años de mi vida Siento orgullo cuando pienso en todos tus detalles Buena esposa, buena hija y mejor madre Gitana que hubiera sido de mi sin ti Con lo golfo que era Sacaste lo mejor de mi Sanaste mi alma llenaste de paz y calma Un corazón perdido en cosas malas Contigo lo tengo todo Mas no le pido a la vida Hasta el tiempo se me para Cuando tú me miras Y es que me mantiene firme Mi verdad más verdadera Es que tu amor hace el bien Como la primavera

When I was young If I just closed my eyes Then I could go anywhere Dream of any place Imagination set the pace And my heart was happy there What a shame that you came Round and told me Said my dreams can't come true "Don't be foolish Give up your wish Big things aren't for you" And how you'd scold and chide me Forever criticize me But now I think I know the truth You were the one Who held me down and told me I was heading nowhere You said know your place Accept your fate and show good face And be thankful that you're there That was so long ago When you owned me I believed it was true Bend me shape me Build me break me Why was I your fool? And now I'm so much stronger I'm not yours any longer I've got a message here for you Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near Hey wait turn and show your face I've got a lot to say And you're not going anywhere You lose; the time you ruled me's through I'm in control I own my soul And I'll never go back there Wasted years that I spent Never knowing I was kept, I was used Never-ending Condescending Now I just refuse I don't care what it costs me I know I almost lost me Won't spend another day confused You rose I fell Made my life hell Anything to crush my soul Anything to feel control Finally free I've come so far Finally see how sick you are I spent my life degraded But I won't leave here jaded I'll start again and finally prove Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near

I met a man He had a dream I tried to understand But nothing was what it seemed Sometimes, that's how gods roll We'd sit for hours He'd share his plans To build a universe And make every part by hand A big scheme with an infinite goal So I would watch and listen and try to learn As pieces and bits became whole But there is more going on than the work at hand What I learned had to do with the strength of the soul There's a light that shines And it's power is mine! Though our body's weak and breakable The spirit is indomitable! So, step by step And frame by frame A world's created Its map fashioned from a stain Just dream big then work 'til it grows I learned this lesson We can evolve Achieving anything As long as our heart's resolved Believing will make it so Though our lives are limited by years on Earth Our dreams won't be bound inside The goal's not to live forever 'Cause eternity loves the creations of time There's a light that shines And it's power is mine! Though our body's weak and breakable The spirit is indomitable! Don't be afraid! Get up, get going A step everyday I'll meet you there When we strive, we transcend Even death cannot end our climb! I wasn't ready You can't prepare For the unthinkable For something that's so unfair It's cruel but that's how life goes But through the sadness Thousands of tears We see his message Sparkling and crystal clear Our work is larger than we know! There's a light that shines And it's power is mine! Though our body's weak and breakable The spirit is indomitable!
