Karaoké Something to Believe in Poison

Well I see him on the TV

Preaching about the promised land

He tells me believe in Jesus steals the money from my hands

Some say he was a good man but Lord I think he sinned, yeah

Twenty two years of mental tears cries a suicidal Vietnam vet

By losing a war on a foreign shore to find his country didn't want him back

Their bullet 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 done there

'Cos I never meant the things I did

And give me something to believe in if there's a Lord above

Now give me something to believe in

Oh, Lord arise

My best friend died a lonely man

Some Palm Springs hotel 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 a mirror mirror on the wall

Sees my smile it fades again

And give me something to believe in if there's a Lord above

And give me something to believe in yeah

Oh, Lord arise

Sometimes I wish to God

I didn't know now things I did know then

Road you gotta take me home

I drive by the homeless sleepin' on a cold dark street like bodies in a open grave

Underneath the broken old neon sign used to read Jesus saves

A mile away live the rich folk and I see how they're livin' it up

But while the poor they eat from hand to mouth

The rich drink from a golden cup

And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win

Ha, give me something to believe in

But give me something to believe in

If there's a Lord above

And give me something to believe in

Oh Lord arise

And give me something to believe in

Oh Lord arise

And give me something to believe in

Oh Lord arise

And give me something to believe in

Oh Lord arise

Yeah some times I wish

I didn't know now

The things I did know then

Yeah

And give me something to believe in, yeah, yeah
