lyrics

You’re cynical and skeptical and poisoned by the news
You sold your heart, you broke your soul
There’s holes in both your shoes
You lost your sad direction and it wasn’t even funny
You better believe somebody, you better believe somebody

Republicans and Democrats and Independents too
Who’s playing them, who’s laying them
And who is paying who?
They’re lying if they’re talking, their dirty hands are bloody
You better believe somebody, you better believe somebody

The Christians and Muslims and the Buddhists and the Jews
They’re said so much for so long now, it’s hard to pick and choose
The truth becomes corroded, the meaning just gets muddy
You better believe somebody, you better believe somebody

You can’t escape the thunder, you wonder what is next
You hope to get the better of whatever happens next
Whatever happens next, you bet, you keep your fingers crossed
You cry because it hurts to lose and now you know you’ve lost
The sour turns to sweet my friend, sugar sweet like honey
You better believe somebody, you better believe somebody
Nothing last forever man, it’s stormy then it’s sunny
You better believe somebody, you better believe somebody
We can conquer mediocrity if we’re unimpressed by money
You better believe somebody, you better believe somebody
