The Believers
No one wants to believe you
when the world is on fire.
The good men are far and few.
When you have a breakthrough,
the situation will turn dire;
no one wants to believe you.
When you’re a puppet like a voodoo
A gentle poke is all you desire.
The good men are far and few
There comes a time to make your debut.
Step up, speak clear and try to inspire,
But no one wants to believe you
When your plans always seem to fall through
It is vital to know when to retire.
The good men are far and few
Bad friends tend to misconstrue;
They call you a liar.
No one wants to believe you:
The good men are far and few.
