I Think That's What I Believe
They say, "don't stop believing"
Give no room to reason
Build it and they will come
I've no quibble with that drivel
It's alright for some
But I was born in a European nation
In the twentieth century
And what I've seen and what I've learned
Means it's not right for me
Thy say, "don't stop believing"
'Cause if you stop believing
Very soon you'll regret it
But what they believe
Is you can believe
And still end up in a fiery pit
So I sit in this European nation
In the twenty-first century
And I know someone's got it wrong
Is it them or is it me?
During the deepest darkest nights
I feel that they must be right
But when I see the morning light
Science wins again
They say, "don't stop believing"
'Cause if you just believe
Your future's like the shining sun
I say "I would believe
But there's all these beliefs
What if I pick the wrong one?"
When I look at the European nations
Down through the centuries
Every single belief system
Ended up causing grief, incalculable grief
And if you ask me now
I think that's what I believe
