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
