Something to Believe In
By Poison, from the CD: Flesh & Blood
Well I see him on the TV
Preachin 'bout the promised land
Tells me to believe in Jesus
Steals the money right from our hands
Some say he was a good man
But, Lord I think he sinned, yeah yeah

Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
He fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back

The polies took his best friends in Siagon
Our lawyers took his wife, his 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
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
When 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 some lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
See my smile, it fades again

Ah, give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
Give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise...

Sometimes I wished to God
I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then

Lord, you gotta take me home

I drive by the homeless
Sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
In a broken old neon sign
Used to read Jesus Saves

A mile away live the rich folk
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich are drinking from the golden cup

And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose and so few win

Figure out a way to document this next section...

Hey, give me something to believe in
(Give me something to believe in)
Give me something to believe in
(Give me something to believe in)
If there's a Lord above
Give me something to believe in
(You take the high road and I'll take the low road)
Oh Lord arise
Give me something to believe in
Oh Lord....
Give me something to believe in
Oh Lord....
Give me soomething to believe in
Oh Lord, arise

Yeah, sometimes I wish I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then...

And give me something to believe in, yeah yeah
