Something to believe in
Little brother's got a habit
That he thinks he's getting under control
And he's selling all our love and best wishes as the hunger grows
Living by the scriptures on the subway wall,
He wants to be a rebel but he can't find a cause ...
[Chorus:]
He needs something to believe in
He needs something to believe in
All he ever wanted was to get away
Little sister's getting serious with a fella nearly twice her age
And she's aiming to move in with him
As soon as they can find a place
But there's no getting through to her, there's no other way
You can't learn from mistakes that somebody else made ...
(Chorus)
Caught in the void of no hope and no choice
it's a nobody wins situation
What can they do? - it's a catch 22
It's a breakdown in communication
Little wonder they're confused no wonder we misunderstand
Little wonder there's a wind of change blowing through the land,
Nobody's guilty ... it's a sign of the times
But we won't see the future 'til we open our eyes
We need something to believe in
(Something to Believe In)
We need something to believe in
(Something to Believe In)
We need something to Believe In
(Something to Believe In)
We need something to believe in
All we ever wanted was to get away
