See also the remastered YouTube song/video. I Once Believed. LYRICS:
I once believed in the US of A, with liberty and justice for all,
or at least for most, and that’s pretty close
but the number is starting to fall.
I once believed a president, who promised to bring change,
He spoke rather well, but from what I can tell
he loves Wall Street more than Main.
I once believed a preacher, he told me to tithe ten percent
so I gave him eleven, for my ticket to heaven
now I just can’t forget to repent.
[CHORUS]
Now I hold just one thing true
I believe in me and you
I dream of humanity
singing silent harmony
I once believed in mermaids, Santa Claus, and the Easter Bunny
then I got wise, to all of them lies
except for the tooth fairy’s money.
I once believed the chimpanzees on the AM radio waves
I listened too long, and I got it all wrong
it aint truth, but ratings they crave.
I once believed my cable news was totally balanced and fair,
they sounded so certain, but behind the curtain
lies the wizard of doctrinaires.
[CHORUS]
I once believed God made a mistake in creating all the gay
Then I friended some queers, and now hold them dear
And welcome them to the buffet.
I once believed a patriot, he was one of the chosen few,
who fly the same flag, and proudly brag,
that we are better than you.
I once believed a general, crossing a crumbling bridge,
the gas main was leaking, as he was speaking,
of a new enemy coming over the ridge.
Now I hold just one thing true
I believe in me and you
I dream of humanity
singing silent harmony
I dream of you and me
singing silent harmony
