Something to Believe In (Acoustic Version)
Poison

I came home from school on Tuesday

To find my mother gone

Why she left I'll never know

It seemed like they got along


For one of these days I'd like to know

Just where it all went wrong


A woman torn to tears asks

Who the real criminals are

Or when they told her her husband died

Fighting in another country's drug wars


She said it isn't the kids on the streets without a dream

Shooting up the dealers smack

It's them red tape politicians

Taking all the drug lords kickbacks


Isn't it funny what power and money

Can do to the soul of a man?


And give me something to believe in, yeah

If there's a Lord above

Ah give me something to believe in, yeah

If there's a Lord above


He got a second job at night now

Just to help pay the bills

And there he worked for the rest of his life

'Cause his wife had taken ill


And now he lives on a bottle of courage

He buys at the liquor store

He did his family real good

Until he couldn't do it anymore


Whatever he found

Why he broke down

No one's really sure



Just needed something to believe in

If there's a Lord above

He needed something to believe in

Oh Lord, arise


[Incomprehensible]

On the old man's face

His eyes blood red laid to waste


Well, the mirror tells a different story

Then the one that's playing in my mind

Every time I swear I'm looking younger

The more lines that I find


I guess I learned to trade youth for wisdom

And lust in for romance

It's all written in the stages and

Phases of life's little dance


But when I want to bitch about growing old

I think how many never had a chance


It gives me something to believe in, yeah

Oh Lord, arise

It gives me something to believe in, yeah

Oh Lordy, Lord arise


Something to believe in

Oh Lord, above

It gives me something to believe in, yeah

Oh Lord, arise


Sometimes I wish I didn't know now

Things I did know then, yeah

And give me something to believe in, yeah-e-yeah
