Ian Hunter - Something To Believe In lyrics

(Ian Hunter)



(Transcribed by Justin Purington; minor corrections by Colin Ford)



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.
