Poison – Something To Believe In Lyrics  Share

From Poison's 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
[ Something To Believe In lyrics from

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
