美國重金屬樂團[毒藥]──華麗金屬/抒情搖滾──[Something to Believe In/值得相信的事]

 

Well I see him on the TV

Preachin bout the promised 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

 

Twenty-two years of mental tears

Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet

Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore

To find his country didnt want him back

Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon

Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets

In a time I dont remember

In a war he cant forget

He cried Forgive me for what Ive done there

Cause I never meant the things I did

 

And give me something to believe in

If theres a Lord above

And give me something to believe in

Oh, Lord arise

 

My 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

 

And give me something to believe in

If theres a Lord above

And give me something to believe in

Oh, Lord arise

 

Sometimes I wish to God I didnt know now

The things I didnt know then

 

I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street

Like bodies in an open grave

Underneath the broken old neon sign

That used to read Jesus saves

A mile away live the rich folks

And I see how theyre 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, so few win

 

And give me something to believe in

If theres a Lord above

And give me something to believe in

Oh, Lord arise

 

You take the high road

And Ill take the low road

 

Yes Sometimes I wish I didnt know now

The things I didnt know then

And give me something to believe in
