Poison

Will i see him on the tv
Preachin' 'bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in jesus
And steals the money from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But lord i think he sinned, yeah
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 friend in saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and 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"
Chorus:
And give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, lord arise
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
