Now they tell me jesus didn't have blonde hair
And bob dylan can't sing
And the liberty bell cracked like a shell first ring

And london bridge is in arizona
And vegas has an eiffel tower
And the reverend smacks a hooker around his hotel room
He says he feels the power

And how small does your god have to be
For you to tell if it's a he or a she?

I want to believe in something, some little sliver of truth
I want to believe in something, like i believe in you

The "single-gun theory" was working
It's a shame about the pictures and sound
There's a "best before" date on most everything that i've found

Oh you can spend all your money on the latest stuff
Turn around and it's all obsolete
All that was cool ends up being a fool's receipt

And certainty could be a childish wish
But i'm learning how to live with this

I'm clawing my way towards ignorance
I am slowly learning the steps to this dance
I'll find a little evidence that makes me smile
Not enough for a conviction if it comes to trial

I want to believe in something, some little sliver of truth
I want to believe in something like i believe in you
I want to believe in something, what have you got to sell
I'm not going to believe in just anything
As long as i can think for myself
