lyrics

Give me something to believe in
a little hope to give life meaning
promise me great cities in the sky
but what if this ain't what it seems
what if life is but a dream
what if this riddle's just a lie

So take me down to holy creek
I'll sing all my songs for free
just give me all the answers that I need
if theres a god let him be known
a corporeal vision to call my own
help me I'm begging darling please


Because I'm losing faith in humanity restore my courage restore my peace
help me know the person I should be
because I don't know how it got so bad
and optimism makes me sad
ain't it funny how that seems


So how does this go and what do I write
why do I sing and why do they fight
are there any answers to the above
or anything else about life and dreams
fuck you money and screw you greed
help me I'm down on bended knee

Oh give me something to believe in
a little love to stop the grieving
give answers to what happened at the start
bind my hands and shield my eyes
take away the tears I cry
why did you have to break poor Sarah's heart

It's not my purpose to challenge faith
I might even run that race
I'll stand by and listen to all views
but why is wall street green while blood runs red
on the streets of paris or Leicester square
help us figure out what we should do

Give us something to believe in
more than tory greed and
tell us whats in store for Britain now
because they'll privatise the seas around us
increase the tax till we're all helpless
oh what are we gunna do


Because I'm losing faith in humanity
and politicians and their policies
help us shine a light so we can see
why is parliament blue while blood runs red
in five years time we'll do it all again
still rioting against austerity
so lets put back the social in society
restore faith in community
