Ian Hunter - Something to Believe In lyrics

Well, I lay underneath an ageless sky I watched the universe breathing There's more going on up there than meets the eye Give me something to believe in Which way's in and which way's out Every step is misleading Well, which way is up which way is down? You gotta have something to believe in Oh, let me dream, let me dream I spend my whole life dreaming I've been lucky but I'm still mean You gotta have something to believe in I didn't mean to hurt the people I hurt I was full of fear and loathing I wasn't up to much but I was all I had to go on Couldn't find nothing to believe in I don't like all them man made religions They all need a little spiritual healing They don't cut across race, they don't cut across culture But we all need something to believe in So you believe what you want to believe Just stay true to your feelings 'Cause one man's god's just as good as another now Gotta have something to believe in Well, I lay underneath a royal throne The gaudy paint was peeling Half an inch deep and twice as cheap Oh, give me something to believe in Fat Fred always packing lead On the corner dealing Makes more in a night than I can make in forty days Give me something to believe in Now people worship what they see Looks can be deceiving Violence rages in abandoned hearts 'Cause they ain't got nothing to believe in The chill chill is a bitter pill When it comes to leaving 'Cause there ain't no easy way outta here When you ain't got nothing to believe in Just woke up in Sarajevo city I watched all those mothers screaming Kids getting shot and for what and for what? Give me something to believe in Now there's fire outside, mud that slides Earthquakes shake the region Willy and the Poorboys lost in America They ain't got nothing to believe in For every seed of knowledge found For every grain of reason For every shred of decency There's something to believe in Now I lay me down to rest In the silence of the evening And the moon road shines from here to eternity I've got something to believe in You believe what you want to believe Just stay true to your feelings 'Cause one man's god's just as good as another I've got something to believe in
