I've Been Wrong Before

I don't believe in UFOs and little men from Mars
 I don't believe in magic lamps bought at junk bazaars
 I don't believe the world will ever be without a war
 I don't believe a lot of things--
 But I've been wrong before!
 I don't believe the souls of man can haunt you after life
 I don't believe the world hangs on the edge of a knife
 I don't believe we should stop thinking for an oath we swore
 I don't believe a lot of things--
 But I've been wrong before!
 People tell me their crazy yarns
 Like ghosts, and gods, and ESP, and UFOs in barns
 Half this crap has turned out true--
 If you close your mind at this point, the only fool is you!
 I don't believe a God above invented all that's good
 I don't believe that there's a need to rush from childhood
 I don't believe the world began with a lion's roar
 I don't believe a lot of things--
 But I've been wrong before!
 People tell me their crazy yarns
 Like ghosts, and gods, and ESP, and UFOs in barns
 Half this crap has turned out true--
 If you close your mind at this point, the only fool is you!
 I don't believe it's always kind to say the nicest thing
 I don't believe a "sugar lie" is awe-inspiring
 I don't believe in posing kind and sneaking out the door
 I don't believe a lot of things--
 But I've been wrong before!
