Verse 1
Sleeping under the bridge tonight my cardboard box has room service
Sun is hot but colds the light that drags you from your dreams caress
Got no job you’re money’s spent…better go and get one
No address no six months rent, a kind word from no one
Chorus
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
But anything has gotta be better than this
Verse 2
You’re back walking the city streets rubbing the gold from the pavements
Checkin’ out the gents you meet, you’re making strange arrangements
When you left your family, did you hope to buy another
But did the walls of the hostelry, hold a Father, or a Mother?
Chorus
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
But anything has gotta be better than this.
And if there’s something, keep it inside
Try to take courage, from the light that you hide
And if it should falter, fade and grow dim
You must keep it burnin’
Or the knife will twist again.
Verse 3
Sacrificial virgins wait on the alter of corruption
Their minds all but replaced by hate
Feels the knife that twists inside them
Chorus
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
I don’t know if there’s something you believe, I don’t know if there’s something
But anything has gotta be better than this
anything has gotta be better than this
I said anything has gotta be better than this
