And he's selling all our love and best wishes as the hunger grows
We need something to believe in
He needs something to believe in
It's a nobody wins situation
We need something to believe in
We need something to believe in
You can't learn from mistakes that somebody else made
She needs something to believe in
Little sister's getting serious with a fella nearly twice her age
Caught in the void of no hope and no choice
Something to believe in
And she's aiming to move in with him as soon as they can find a place
But there's no getting through to her, there's no other way
He wants to be a rebel but he can't find a cause
Little wonder, they're confused, no wonder we misunderstand
She needs something to believe in
Little wonder, there's a wind of change blowing through the land
Living by the scripture on the subway wall
All she ever wanted was to get away
But we won't see the future till we open our eyes
He needs something to believe in
All he ever wanted was to get away
What can they do? It's a catch-22
It's a breakdown in communication
We need something to believe in
Nobody's guilty, it's a sign of the times
Something to believe in
