New God Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
