Something To Believe In, lyric by Poison

from the songs album Flesh & Blood


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"

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 is drinkin' from a golden cup

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

Chorus

You take the high road
And i'll take the low road

Sometimes i wish to god i didn't know now
The things i didn't know then

And give me something to believe in
