Something To Believe In
By Poison
From the album Flesh & Blood



Well, I see him on the TV
Preachin' 'bout the Promised Lands
Tells me, "Believe in Jesus"
And steals the money from my hand

Some say he was a good man
But Lord, I think he's sinned, yeah

Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries of 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 cried, "Forgive me what I'd done there
Cause I never meant the things I did"

He gave me somethin' to believe in
If there's a lord above
And gave me somethin' 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 soul lost out of place

And the mirror, the mirror on the wall
Sees my smile and fades again

I give me somethin' to believe in
If there's a lord above
And give me somethin' to believe in
Oh, lord arise

Sometimes I wished to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
Road, you gotta take me home

[guitar solo]

I drive by the homeless sleepin' 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 lived the rich folks
And I see how they're livin' it up
While the poor are eatin' 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

It gave me somethin' to believe in
Gave me somethin' to believe in...
It gave me somethin' to believe in
Gave me somethin' to believe in...
If there's a lord above
It gave me somethin' to believe in
Gave me somethin' to believe in...
Oh, lord arise
It gave me somethin' to believe in
Gave me somethin' to believe in...
Take my heart away
Gave me somethin' to believe in...

(...)

Yeah, sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then

And it gave me somethin' to believe in


You read the lyrics, or listen to the song or whatever, and you tell me what the song is about. It's pretty self-explanitory.

[Prince of Hell]

Definitely, that seems very self explanitory of a song.
