You've got to believe in something It's a lonely universe Be careful what you wish for Cause your improvement might be worse Birth is a missing persons file It's a case of role reversal Life is a play... Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal You've got to believe in nothing There's an awful lot out there There's an awful lot in make up Some in every perfect hair You know I lose a lot of sleep Wondering if nothing would ever desert us But I know they don't know nothing And what they don't know can't 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 I'm 'o' charge you a five dollar bill And show you a real fine time Real fine time There's a candy coated iguana Behind curtain number one And a sixteen dollar bill For every pregnant flying nun They got a soda-pop that'll save the wold It's a tonic and an elixir It's a get-you-laid Better-paid Guaranteed all-round life-fixer I want to tell you This guy wants you to change a twenty I want to tell you This guy wants you to change a ten I want to tell you This guy knows you already did it But he wants you to do it again Do it again You've got to believe in something It's a lonely universe Be careful what you wish for Cause your improvement might be worse Birth is a missing persons file It's a case of 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 But you get no time to rehearse And you got to believe in something Cause it's a lonely universe You got to believe in something
