A boy told him all about his plans
His mouth ran fast about fame and fortune
Talking loud and throwing up his hands
Said all he needed was a little help
A little help from someone
From somebody else
So do you think that everything's the way it looks
Not that I can say
Sheep aren't disguises for wolves
But just maybe you're missing out on something good
Turning your back cause you think it's just bait on a hook
He said
I don't take stock in something that I don't see
I don't buy in if it isn't doing any good for me
I don't believe in your make belief
No there's nothing in this world that'll make me believe
So give up your trying
'Cause there ain't nothing you can do to change my priorities
I wanna know why you believe in prayer
I wanna know how they say anybody can get everything with it
When the widow doesn't get her silver box back from her thief
Why there isn't a better father here for me
I don't take stock in something that I don't see
I don't buy in if it isn't doing any good for me
I don't believe in your make belief
No there's nothing in this world that'll make me believe
So give up your trying
'Cause there ain't nothing you can do to change my priorities
I believe cause I know there's a God who hears me
I believe cause I don't know how things are supposed to be
I believe and I'm not living this life for me
Yeah I believe there's a better father in heaven for you
And that you can't see
I don't take stock in something that I don't see
I don't buy anything isn't doing any good for me
I don't believe in your make belief
No there's nothing in this world that'll make me believe
So give up your trying cause there ain't nothing you can do to change my priorities
