Something to Believe In

Little brother's got a habit
That he thinks he's getting under control
And he's selling all our love
And best wishes as the hunger grows
Living by the scripture on the subway walls
He wants to be a rebel but he can't find a cause

He needs something to believe in
He needs something to believe in
All he ever wanted was to get away

Little sister's getting serious
With a fellow nearly twice her age
And she's aiming to move in with him
As soon as they can find a place
There's no getting through to her
There's no other way
You can't learn from mistakes that somebody else made

She needs something to believe in
She needs something to believe in
All she ever wanted was to get away

Caught in the void of no hope and no choice
It's a nobody win situation
What can they do?
It's a catch-22
It's a breakdown in communication

Mum and Dad are so confused
Little wonder they don't understand
Little wonder there's a wind of change
Blowing through this land
Nobody's guilty
It's a sign of the times
But we won't see the future till we open our eyes

Something to believe in...
We need something to believe in
Something to believe in
We need something to believe in
All we ever wanted was to get away
