lyrics

I BELIEVE IN SOMETHING
Swimming neath the continents
Swirling through the sky
is everything I don't know yet
And still won't when I die

For I am just a little thing
Astounded by everything
The wet grass beneath my feet
The tall towers of concrete

If I was God no one would doubt it
We wouldn't need church to get
The mystery that we once knew
The something we forget

I believe I'm a totally modern boy
but turn out the light and I believe in something
Don't wanna be some evil giant's toy
when it's late at night I believe in something

My friend had his death foretold
When he was twenty-six years old
I say the right things they're no help
His body slowly eats itself

If I was God no one would doubt it
No one would suspect
There was nothing I could do
With my greater intellect

I believe in these tiny little pills -- I believe in something
Mystic words on the backs of dollar bills -- I believe in something

I'm swimming neath the continents
I'm swirling through the air
Can't see the bones beneath my skin
But I know that they're there

I believe that my little heart's diseased -- I believe in something
Like to think there are people just like me -- I believe in something
I believe what they taught me in grade school
History is made by handsome dudes
I believe everything on television
Twelve step programs are the new religion
Gideon bibles make good rolling papers
The just prevail sooner or later
I believe I will live forever
I believe it all
I swear to whatever

TMJ is/was a punk-pop band of some minor renown. Some of that renown was due to their music, which included semi-hits such as “Crush Story,” “Donna Everywhere,” and “That’s a Lie” — a cover of the LL Cool J tune that featured the man himself in the music video, which actually got played quite a bit during daylight hours on MTV back when they did that sort of thing. ... more
