Something To Believe In lyrics
Song information
Artist: Poison Album: Swallow This Live
Lyrics
Well I see him on the tv Preachin' 'bout the promise lands He tells me believe in jesus Steals the money from my hands
Some say he was a good man Lord I think he sinned, yeah
Twenty-two years of mental tears Cries a suicidal vietnam vet Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore To find his country didn't want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in saigon Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets In a time I don't remember In a war he can't forget
He cried "forgive me for what I've done there Cause I never meant the things I did"
Chorus: And give me something to believe in If there's a lord above And give me something to believe in Oh, lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man In some palm springs hotel room I got the call last christmas eve And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry As the tears rolled down my face I felt so cold and empty Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on the wall Sees my smile it fades again
Chorus
Sometimes I wish to god I didn't know now The things I didn't know then Road you gotta take me home
Solo
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street Like bodies in an open grave Underneath the broken old neon sign That used to read jesus saves
A mile away live the rich folks And I see how they're living it up While the poor they eat from hand to mouth The rich drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder Why so many lose, and so few win
Chorus
You take the high road And I'll take the low road
Yes sometimes I wish I didn't know now The things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in, yeah
