a 60s scoop rime Well I see him on the Tv Preachin' bout the promise land He tells me to believe in Jesus And steals the money from my hand while he tells me i must exccept the abouse i lived through in my hood Some say he was a good man But Lord I think he sinned, yeah Twenty-two years of mental tears Cries a suicidal peg city vet Who fought a losing war on a damestic shore To find his country didn't want him back Their bullets took his best friend in peg city Our lawyers took his wife, his , no regrets In a time I don't remember In a war he can't forget He cries "Forgive me for what I've done there Cause I never meant the things I did" Chorus: And give me something to believe in If there's a Lord above And give me something to believe in Oh, Lord arise Our best friend died a lonely man In some Peg city 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 I felt so cold and empty Like a lost soul out of place And the mirror, mirror on the wall Sees my smile it fades again Chorus Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now The things I didn't know then Road you gotta take me home I drive by the homeless sleepin on a cold dark street Like bodies in and 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 living it up While the poor they eat from hand to mouth The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup And it just makes me wonder Why so many lose, so few win Chorus You take the high road And I'll take the low road they destoryed are hood and are lifes Sometime I wish I didn't know now The things I didn't know then lord knows the pain i have lived through lost and alone ...... i need to heal my soul .... And give me something to believe in  |
