Something to Believe In - Live

Well I see him on the TV
 Preachin' 'bout the promised lands
 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 didn't want him back
 Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
 Our lawyers took his wife and kids,
 No regrets
 In a time I don't remember
 In a war he can't forget
 He cried forgive me for
 What I've done there
 'Cause I never meant the things I did"
 And give me something to believe in
 If there's 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 there's a Lord above
 And give me something to believe in, oh Lord
 Sometimes I wish to God
 I didn't know now
 The things I didn't know then
 Road you gotta take me home
 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 they're 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
 And give me something to believe in
 If there's a Lord above
 And give me something to believe in, oh Lord
 And give me something to believe in
 And give me something to believe in
 You take the high road
 And I'll take the low road
 And give me something to believe in
 And give me something to believe in
 Yeah sometimes I wish I didn't know now
 The things I didn't know then, yeah
 And give me something to believe in, yeah, yeah
