I lost all faith in my god, in his religion too
i told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new
i lost all trust in my friends
i watched my heart turn to stone
i thought that i was left to walk this wicked world alone
tonight i'll dust myself off
tonight i'll suck my gut in
i'll face the night and i'll pretend
i got something to believe in
and i had lost touch with reason
i watched life criticize the truth
been waiting for a miracle
i know you have too
though i know i won't win
i'll take this one on the chin
we'll raise a toast and i'll pretend
i got something to believe in
chorus: if i don't believe in jesus, how can i believe the pope
if i don't believe in heroin, how can i believe in dope
if there's nothing but survival, how can i believe in sin
in a world that gives you nothing
we need something to believe in
chorus: if i don't believe in jesus, how can i believe the pope
if i don't believe in heroin, how can i believe in dope
if there's nothing but survival, how can i believe in sin
in a world that gives you nothing
