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 wall 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 But 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 no choice it's a nobody wins situation What can they do? - it's a catch-22 It's a breakdown in communication

We need something to believe in We need something to believe in Something to believe in We need something to believe in Something to believe in We need something to believe in All he ever wanted was to get away
