[00:00.000]Something to Believe In (Alternate/Acoustic) - Poison
[00:31.212]I came home from school on Tuesday
[00:34.995]To find my mother gone
[00:39.055]Why she left I'll never know
[00:42.755]It seemed like they got along
[00:46.720]For one of these days I'd like to know
[00:50.595]Just where it all went wrong
[01:00.255]A woman torn to tears asks
[01:04.282]Who the real criminals are
[01:07.493]Or when they told her her husband died
[01:11.113]Fighting in another country's ** wars
[01:15.227]She said it isn't the kids on the streets without a dream
[01:19.641]Shooting up the dealers smack
[01:23.016]It's them red tape politicians
[01:26.408]Taking all the ** lords kickbacks
[01:31.546]Isn't it funny what power and money
[01:35.106]Can do to the soul of a man
[01:43.220]And give me something to believe in yeah
[01:48.261]If there's a lord above
[01:51.114]Ah give me something to believe in yeah
[01:55.920]If there's a lord above
[02:00.469]He got a second job at night now
[02:04.365]Just to help pay the bills
[02:08.122]And there he worked for the rest of his life
[02:11.735]'Cause his wife had taken ill
[02:15.637]And now he lives on a bottle of courage
[02:19.703]He buys at the liquor store
[02:23.660]He did his family real good
[02:26.956]Until he couldn't do it anymore
[02:31.372]Whatever he found
[02:33.279]Why he broke down
[02:35.363]No one's really sure
[02:43.448]Just needed something to believe in
[02:48.349]If there's a lord above
[02:51.348]He needed something to believe in
[02:56.029]Oh lord arise
[02:59.590]Incomprehensible
[03:02.044]On the old man's face
[03:04.379]His eyes blood red laid to waste
[03:58.122]Well the mirror tells a different story
[04:02.182]Then the one that's playing in my mind
[04:06.155]Every time I swear I'm looking younger
[04:09.819]The more lines that I find
[04:13.643]I guess I learned to trade youth for wisdom
[04:17.531]And lust in for romance
[04:22.005]It's all written in the stages and
[04:24.658]Phases of life's little dance
[04:29.151]But when I want to b**ch about growing old
[04:32.926]I think how many never had a chance
[04:41.708]It gives me something to believe in
[04:46.635]Oh lord arise
[04:49.549]It gives me something to believe in
[04:54.341]Oh lardy lord arise
[04:58.023]Something to believe in
[05:02.067]Oh lord above
[05:05.026]It gives me something to believe in
[05:09.900]Oh lord arise
[05:29.759]Sometimes I wish I didn't know now
[05:33.774]Things I did know then
[05:50.212]And give me something to believe in
