Youve got to believe in something

Its a lonely universe

Be careful what you wish for

Cause you improvement might be worse

Birth is a missing persons file

Its a case of role reversal

Life is a play...

Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal



Youve got to believe in nothing

Theres and awful lot out there

Some in every perfect hair

You know I lose a bit of sleep

Wondering if nothing would ever desert us

But I know they dont know nothing

And what they dont know cant hurt us



I want to tell you

This guy wants to charge you a nickel

I want to tell you

This guy wants to charge you a dime

I want to tell you

Im o?charge you a five dollar bill

And show you a real fine time



Theres a candy coated iguana

Behind curtain number one

And a sixteen dollar bill

For every pregnant flying nun

They got a soda-pop thatll save the world

Its a tonic and an elixir

Its a get-you-laid

Better-paid

Guaranteed all-round life-fixer



I want to tell you....



Youve got to believe in something

Its a lonely universe

Be careful what you wish for

Cause your improvement might be worse

Birth is a missing persons file

Its a case of the role reversal

Life is a play, they say

Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal



I want to tell you

Some say life is a blessing

I want to tell you

Some say life is a curse

I want to tell you

Some say life is a play

And you get no time to rehearse

And you got to believe in something

Cause its lonely universe

You got to believe in something
