poison - something to believe in (live) [swallow this live] lyrics

[intro: bret michaels]
wanna take the time to dedicate this next song
to the men and women who fought overseas and are comin’ home right now
went over there and made the u+s of a proud
please, help me sing this next song loud
this one’s called, “something to believe in,” it goes like this

[verse 1: bret michaels]
well, i see him on the tv
preachin’ ’bout the promised lands
he tells me to believе in jesus
and steals the monеy from my hands
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 friends in saigon
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 for what i’ve done there
’cause i never meant the things i did”

[chorus: bret michaels]
give me somethin’ to believe in
if there’s a lord above
a+give me somethin’ to believe in, yeah
i said, lord, arise
[verse 2: bret michaels]
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
god, it feels so cold here
it so lonely in this place
mirror, mirror on the wall
see my smile, it fades again

[chorus: bret michaels, c.c. deville & bobby dall]
give me somethin’ to believe in, yeah
(give me something to believe in)
give me somethin’ to believe in, yeah
(give me something to believe in) i said, lord, arise

[bridge: bret michaels]
sometimes, i wish to god i didn’t know now
the things i didn’t know then
road, you gotta take me home, come on

[guitar solo]

[verse 3: bret michaels]
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 live the rich folk
and i see how they’re livin’ it up
while the poor, they eat from hand to mouth
the rich drinkin’ from a golden cup
it just makes me wonder
so many lose and so few win, oh
[chorus: bret michaels, c.c. deville & bobby dall]
give me somethin’ to believe in, yeah
(give me something to believe in)
orlando, give me somethin’ to believe in, yeah
(give me something to believe in) i said, lord, arise
give me somethin’ to believe in (you take the high road)
i said, i said, sweet jesus (and i’ll take the low road)
somethin’ to believe in (you take the high road)
if there’s a lord, lord above (and i’ll take the low road)
somethin’ to believe in (you take the high road)
i said, i said, sweet jesus (and i’ll take the low road)
somethin’ to believe in (you take the high road)
i said, i said, lord (and i’ll take the low road)

[outro: bret michaels]
sometimes, i wish to god i didn’t know now
the things i didn’t know then
and give me somethin’
lord, i said, somethin’
lord, i said, won’t you
won’t you give me somethin’ to believe in?
yeah+yeah
thank you very much
