Don't believe the devil I don't believe the book
But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up
I don't believe in excess success is to give
I don't believe in riches but you should see where I live
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in forced entry I don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in deathrow, skidrow or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi just went off in my hand
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in cocaine I got a speedball in my hand
I could cut and crack you open...did you hear what I said?
Don't believe them when they tell me there ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy the sick stay poor
I...I believe in love
I don't believe in Goldman his type like a curse
Instant karma's gonna get him if I don't get him first
I don't believe that Rock 'N Roll can really change the world
As it spins in revolution spirals and turns
I...I believe in love
I don't believe in the 60's in the golden age of pop
You glorify the past when the future dries up
I heard a singer on the radio last night
Says he's gonna kick the darkness
till it bleeds daylight*
I...I believe in love
I feel like I'm falling, like I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside a name a presence I can feel
I...I believe in love
*Bruce Cockburn
