Something To Believe In Lyrics - Flesh And Blood - Poison

Well I see him on the TV 

Preachin' 'bout the promised lands 

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 

If there's a Lord above 

And give me something to believe in, oh Lord 

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 

If there's a Lord above 

And give me something to believe in, oh Lord 

And give me something to believe in 

And give me something to believe in 

You take the high road 

And I'll take the low road 

And give me something to believe in 

And give me something to believe in 

Yeah sometimes I wish I didn't know now 

The things I didn't know then, yeah 

And give me something to believe in, yeah, yeah
