[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
And I had lost touch with reason
I watched life criticize the truth
Been waiting for a miracle
I know you have too

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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 [x2]
