Something to Believe In — текст песни (Ian Hunter)

(ian hunter)



(transcribed by justin purington; minor corrections by colin ford)



Well I lay underneath an ageless sky

I watched the universe breathing

Theres more going on up there than meets the eye

Give me something to believe in



Which ways in and which ways 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

Ive been lucky but Im still mean

You gotta have something to believe in



I didnt mean to hurt the people I hurt

I was full of fear and loathing

I wasnt up to much, but I was all I had to go on

Couldnt find nothing to believe in



I dont like all them man-made religions

They all need a little spiritual healing

They dont cut across race, they dont 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 mans gods 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 aint got nothing to believe in



The chill chill is a bitter pill

When it comes to leaving

cause there aint no easy way outta here

When you aint 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 theres fire outside, mud that slides

Earthquakes shake the region

Willy and the poorboys lost in america

They aint got nothing to believe in



For every seed of knowledge found

For every grain of reason

For every shred of decency

Theres 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

Ive got something to believe in



You believe what you want to believe

Just stay true to your feelings

cause one mans gods just as good as another

Ive got something to believe in.
