Hymn For A New Age Lyrics - Working Man's Cafe - Ray Davies

I don't believe that God is a man with white hair 

Sitting in a big chair 

Judging the world and its morals 

Forgiving today so we can sin again tomorrow 

But I believe I need something to look up to 

I believe I wanna pray but don't know what to 

I'm not a born again preacher 

My soul's too far gone to be saved 

The world is wild and at this stage 

We need a hymn for a new age 

Oh have you heard the news 

Bible bashers where are the queues 

A saint played a gig but he got crap reviews 

The punters didn't like the product or the venue 

I need something to connect to 

Someone to help me through 

Something I can pray to 

This is my hymn for a new age 

Rewrite the book on a fresh page 

If I'm to find God and be saved 

I need a hymn for a new age 

(We need a hymn for a new age) 

The invader's arrived now here comes the war 

Satan keeps knocking at my door 

Time has come for a new crusade 

Cast out the evil before they blow the world away 

We need a hymn 

I believe 

I need something to look up to 

I believe I wanna pray but don't know what to 

We need a hymn for a new age 

Rewrite the book on a fresh page 

If I'm to find God and be saved 

I need a hymn for a new age 

We need a hymn for a new age 

Each man build your own cross 

For every soul that's ever been lost 

Life is cheap people take it at no cost 

We need a hymn for a new age
