Artist: Poison
Song: Something To Believe In
Well I see him on the TV preaching 'bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in Jesus steals the money from my hand
Some say he was a good man lord I think he sinned
Twenty two years of mental tears cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foriegn 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
(no chord) D
And give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
Give me something to believe in
Oh lord arise
My best friend died a lonley man in some Palm Springs motel 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 mirror mirror on the wall see my smile it fades again
(no chord) D
And give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
Give me something to believe in
Oh lord arise
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now things I didn't know then
Solo: G :D/G...
I drive by the homeless sleeping on the 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 livin' it up
While the poor they eatin' from hand to mouth the rich drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win
(no chord) D
And give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
Give me something to believe in
Oh lord arise
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in
