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
