Something To Believe In - Poison
Will I see him on the TV
preachin bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money
from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But 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
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
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
Sometimes I wish to
God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
road you gotta take me home

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 is drinkin
from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
why so many lose so few win
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
Sometimes I wish to
God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then

And give me
something to believe i
