Lyrics Don McLean – Believers

I got no money, got no job, I’m just another shufflin’ slob
Well we’ve all been disappointed, we’ve had our dreams before
For with dreams you learn to take your turn
In a world that don’t believe in nothin’ anymore

Some believe in Jesus. They don’t act like they do
Some believe in Mohammed. I don’t believe that’s true
‘Cause they do believe in money, and gold is what it’s for
All the gold can’t buy no peace of mind
In a world that don’t believe in nothin’ anymore

She is a woman, with a baby child. A sacrificed human. Now she’s runnin’ wild
Well her dreams have all been shattered, her dignity defiled
She has lost her way but she must stay
In a world that don’t believe in nothin’ anymore

Some believe in love. Where did it go?
Some believe in children. Even they now know
That we do believe in money, and gold is what it’s for
All the gold can’t buy no peace of mind
In a world that don’t believe in nothin’ anymore

I believe in you, I believe in me and I don’t care what the papers say
I believe in struggle, I believe in life, I believe that we will find a way
I believe in hope, I believe in dreams, I believe in luck, I believe in schemes
I believe in fate, I believe in time, I believe what I believe ain’t worth a dime

‘Cause we do believe in money, and gold is what it’s for
All the gold can’t buy no peace of mind
In a world that don’t believe in nothin’ anymore

I’ll go on livin’, I’ll pay the cost. I’ll keep on givin’ to those who are lost
‘Cause the children will be coming and they’ll soon know the score
They must understand I’ve played my hand
In a world that don’t believe
