Something To Believe In

He's got a hot rod El Camino
He's playin' Hendrix on the stereo
Wearin' blue jeans and high tops
He's got a .45 in the glove box

And there's a preacher on the sidewalk
And he's beatin' down on his Bible
If you listen to his lesson
He'll tell you how to get to heaven

Everybody needs somethin' to believe in
Everybody's just lookin' for a better way
Searchin' through the creases
Siftin' through the tiny bits and pieces
Everybody's lookin', oh, everybody's lookin'
For something to believe in

He's got an office on the tenth floor
He's got his nameplate on the glass door
He's been dealin' in the market
He's gonna hit it big but he hasn't yet

Yeah, there's a farmer down the dirt road
And he's prayin' for the mother lode
Gotta get a rain on his dry land
To save his family from the money man

Everybody needs somethin' to believe in
Everybody's just lookin' for a better way
Searchin' through the creases
Siftin' through the tiny bits and pieces
Everybody's lookin', oh, everybody's lookin'
For something to believe in

Well, there's twenty-five on a row boat
And they're floatin' into the gold coast
Riskin' everything for one chance
At a better life in the Promised Land

Everybody needs somethin' to believe in
Everybody's just lookin' for a better way
Searchin' through the creases
Siftin' through the tiny bits and pieces
Everybody's lookin', oh, everybody's lookin'
Hey, everybody's lookin', oh, everybody's lookin'
For something to believe in

Everybody's lookin', lookin', lookin'
Everybody's lookin'
For something to believe in
