Little brother's got a habit That he thinks he's getting under control And he's selling all our love And best wishes as the hunger grows Living by the scripture on the subway walls He wants to be a rebel but he can't find a cause He needs something to believe in He needs something to believe in All he ever wanted was to get away Little sister's getting serious With a fella nearly twice her age And she's aiming to move in with him As soon as they can find a place There's no getting through to her - there's no other way You can't learn from mistakes that somebody else made She needs something to believe in
She needs something to believe in All she ever wanted was to get away Caught in the void of no hope and no choice It's a nobody win situation What can they do it's a catch 22 It's a breakdown in communication Mum and Dad are so confused Little wonder they don't understand Little wonder there's a wind of change Blowing through this land Nobody's guilty - it's a sign of the times But we won't see the future till we open our eyes We need something to believe in We need something to believe in We need something to believe in We need something to believe in All we ever wanted was to get away
