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
