  S1:
  Well I see him on the TV 

  Preachin' 'bout the promised lands 

  He tells me to believe in Jesus 

  And steals the money from my hands 

  Some say he was a good man 

  But Lord I think 

  He sinned -x---x---x x---x---x---x

  S2:
  Twenty-two years of mental tears 

  Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet 

  Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore 

  To find his country didn't want him back 

  Their bullets took his best friends in Saigon 

  Our lawyers took his wife, his kids, no regrets 

  In a time I don't remember 

  In a war he can't forget

  He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there 

  'Cause I never meant the things I did" -x---x---x

  R1:
  And give me somethin' to believe in 

  If there's a Lord above 

  And give me somethin' to believe in 

  Oh, Lord arise

  S3:
  My best friend died a lonely man 

  In some Palm Springs 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 -x---x---x

  Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now 

  The things I didn't know then 

  Road, you gotta take me home x---x

  S4:
  I drive by the homeless sleepin' on a cold dark street 

  Like bodies in an 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 livin' it up 

  While the poor, they eat from hand to mouth 

  The rich drinkin' from a golden cup

  And it just makes me wonder 

  Why so many lose 

  And so few win -x---x---x
