mcdaddy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Lyrics to "Something to Believe In" - Poison Well I see him on the TV preachin' bout the promise land He tells me to believe in Jesus and steals the money from my hand Some say he was a good man but Lord I think he sinned, yeah 22 years of mental tears cries a suicidal Vietnam vet Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore to find his country didn't want him back Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon Our lawyers took his wife his kids, no regrets In a time I don't remember In a war he can't forget He cries "Forgive me for what I've done there Cause I never meant the things I did" (chorus) And give me something to believe in if there's a Lord above And give me something to believe in Oh, Lord arise Our best friend died a lonely man In 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 the mirror, mirror on the wall sees my smile it fades again (chorus) Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now The things I didn't know then Road you gotta take me home (instrumental) I drive by the homeless sleepin' on a cold dark street like bodies in and open grave Underneath the broken old neon sign that used to read "Jesus Saves" A mile away live the rich folk and I see how they're living it up While the poor they eat from hand to mouth The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win, hey (chorus) (Sung simultaneously with chorus) You take the high road and I'll take the low road You take the high road and I'll take the low road Sometime I wish to God I didn't know now the things I didn't know then And give me something to believe in yeah yeah He gets it.

Vigile Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Cool. That was my deconversion song too. Years ago I sat in a parking lot listening to it and cried like a child. Brett seems like a really stand up guy in real life as far as I can tell too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
