Ian Hunter - Something To Believe In Lyrics
(ian hunter)(transcribed by justin purington; minor corrections by colin ford)Well I lay underneath an ageless skyI watched the universe breathingTheres more going on up there than meets the eyeGive me something to believe inWhich ways in and which ways outEvery step is misleadingWell which way is up which way is downYou gotta have something to believe inOh, let me dream, let me dreamI spend my whole life dreamingIve been lucky but Im still meanYou gotta have something to believe inI didnt mean to hurt the people I hurtI was full of fear and loathingI wasnt up to much, but I was all I had to go onCouldnt find nothing to believe inI dont like all them man-made religionsThey all need a little spiritual healingThey dont cut across race, they dont cut across cultureBut we all need something to believe inSo you believe what you want to believeJust stay true to your feelingscause one mans gods just as good as another nowGotta have something to believe inWell I lay underneath a royal throneThe gaudy paint was peelingHalf an inch deep and twice as cheapOh give me something to believe inFat fred always packing leadOn the corner dealingMakes more in a night than I can make in forty daysGive me something to believe inNow people worship what they seeLooks can be deceivingViolence rages in abandoned heartscause they aint got nothing to believe inThe chill chill is a bitter pillWhen it comes to leavingcause there aint no easy way outta hereWhen you aint got nothing to believe inJust woke up in sarajevo cityI watched all those mothers screamingKids getting shot and for what, and for what?Give me something to believe inNow theres fire outside, mud that slidesEarthquakes shake the regionWilly and the poorboys lost in americaThey aint got nothing to believe inFor every seed of knowledge foundFor every grain of reasonFor every shred of decencyTheres something to believe inNow I lay me down to restIn the silence of the eveningAnd the moon road shines from here to eternityIve got something to believe inYou believe what you want to believeJust stay true to your feelingscause one mans gods just as good as anotherIve got something to believe in.
