  • Something To Believe In by Poison Lyrics



    Well I see him on the TV
    Preachin' bout the promise 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, his kids, no regrets
    In a time I don't remember
    In a war he can't forget

    He cries "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

    Our 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

    I drive by the homeless sleepin on a cold dark street
    Like bodies in and open grave
    Underneathe the broken old neon sign
    That used to read JESUS SAVES

    A mile away live the rick folk
    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

    Sometime I wish I didn't know now
    The things I didn't know then

    And give me something to believe in
