Something To Believe In Lyrics - The Artful Dodger - Ian Hunter

(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

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.
