Poison - Something To Believe In

  • 0:01 - 0:04
    (slow rock music)
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    Well I see him on the TV
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    Preaching about the promised lands
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    He tells me to believe in Jesus
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    And steals the money from my hands
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    Some say he was a good man
  • 0:42 - 0:47
    But Lord I think he sinned
  • 0:51 - 0:56
    22 years of mental tears
    cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
  • 0:57 - 1:01
    Who fought a losing
    war on a foreign shore
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    To find his country
    didn't want him back
  • 1:05 - 1:08
    Their bullets took his
    best friend in Saigon
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    Our lawyers took his
    wife, his kids, no regrets
  • 1:12 - 1:17
    In a time I don't remember,
    in a war he can't forget
  • 1:19 - 1:23
    He cried forgive me for
    what I've done there
  • 1:23 - 1:28
    'Cause I never meant the things I did
  • 1:30 - 1:35
    And give me something to believe in
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    If there's a Lord above
  • 1:38 - 1:42
    And give me something to believe in
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    Oh Lord, arise
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    My best friend died a lonely man
  • 1:49 - 1:53
    In some Palm Springs hotel room
  • 1:53 - 1:56
    I got the call last Christmas Eve
  • 1:56 - 2:00
    And they told me the news
  • 2:00 - 2:04
    I tried all night not
    to break down and cry
  • 2:04 - 2:08
    As the tears rolled down my face
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    I felt so cold and empty
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    Like a lost soul out of place
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    And the mirror, mirror on the wall
  • 2:18 - 2:23
    See my smile, it fades again
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    And give me something to believe in
  • 2:30 - 2:31
    Give me something to believe in
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    If there's a Lord above
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    And give me something
    to believe in, yeah
  • 2:37 - 2:38
    Give me something to believe in
  • 2:38 - 2:41
    Oh Lord, arise
  • 2:41 - 2:46
    Sometimes I wish to
    God I didn't know now
  • 2:46 - 2:51
    The things I didn't know then
  • 2:51 - 2:55
    Road, you gotta take me home
  • 3:34 - 3:39
    I drive by the homeless
    sleeping on a cold dark street
  • 3:39 - 3:43
    Like bodies in an open grave
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    Underneath the broken old neon sign
  • 3:46 - 3:50
    That used to read Jesus Saves
  • 3:50 - 3:53
    A mile away live the rich folk
  • 3:53 - 3:57
    And I see how they're living it up
  • 3:57 - 4:01
    While the poor, they
    eat from hand to mouth
  • 4:01 - 4:04
    The rich drinkin' from the golden cup
  • 4:04 - 4:07
    And it just makes me wonder
  • 4:07 - 4:12
    Why so many lose, so few win
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:19 - 4:23
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:23 - 4:26
    And give me something to believe in
  • 4:26 - 4:28
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:28 - 4:30
    If there's a Lord above
  • 4:30 - 4:33
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:33 - 4:34
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:34 - 4:37
    Oh Lord
  • 4:37 - 4:41
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:41 - 4:42
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:42 - 4:44
    Oh Lord, Lord
  • 4:44 - 4:46
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:46 - 4:48
    You take the high road
  • 4:48 - 4:49
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:49 - 4:51
    And I'll take the low road
  • 4:51 - 4:54
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:54 - 4:55
    You take the high road
  • 4:55 - 4:56
    Give me something to believe in
  • 4:56 - 5:00
    Oh Lord, Lord
  • 5:00 - 5:04
    Yeah sometimes I wish
    I didn't know now
  • 5:04 - 5:08
    The things I didn't know then, yeah
  • 5:17 - 5:21
    And give me something to believe in
