Little brother's got a habit
That he thinks he's getting under control
And he's selling all our love
And best wishes as the hunger grows;
Living by the scripture on the subway walls
He wants to be a rebel but he can't find a cause.
He needs something to believe in,
He needs something to believe in,
All he ever wanted was to get away.
Little sister's getting serious
With a fella nearly twice her age
And she's aiming to move in with him
As soon as they can find a place;
There's no getting through to her there's no other way,
You can't learn from mistakes that somebody else made.
She needs something to believe in,
She needs something to believe in,
All she ever wanted was to get away.
Caught in the void of no hope and o choice
It's a 'nobody win' situation.
What can they do? It's a Catch 22,
It's a breakdown in communication.
Mum and Dad are so confused,
Little wonder they don't understand,
Little wonder there's a wind of change
Blowing through this land.
Nobody's guilty it's a sign of the times
But we won't see the future till we open our eyes.
We need something to believe in.
We need something to believe in.
We need something to believe in.
We need something to believe in.
All we ever wanted was to get away.
