I believe in the theory
Believe in it dearly
But I ain't got the time
I believe in the new day
Believe in the new way
But I don't wanna sign
I believe in the news page
Believe in the crusade
But it's all in my mind
I believe in the campaign
Believe in the refrain
Is just believing a crime
I believe in the call
Believe in it all
But what can I do
I believe in the theory
Believe in it dearly
But I ain't got the time

You know it costs more than you think
Ain't gonna let it sink

You think you sit at the table
But that ain't true
You think you're making things stable
But that ain't true
Who's "red, white, and blue"
They're ready, willing, and able
But they need you

I believe in a sing-song
Believe that a war's wrong
But sometimes I fight
I believe in opinions
I read about millions
But I'm always right
I believe in the call
Believe in it all
But what can I do?
I believe in the new truth
But sometimes a screw's loose
And I'd much rather drive

You know it costs more than you think
Ain't gonna let it sink
You know it costs more than you like
Ain't gonna let it die
