Something to Believe In (Rerecorded) |
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 |
Underneath the broken old neon sign |
That 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 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 |
