	This song was written during the Gulf War. That war established American global dominance (the song calls it "The United States of Earth"). But what does it all mean if all we do is preside over the destruction of the planet? Not much. We need to get back to the ideals that made America something more than just a place to make money. We need something to believe.

	Lyrics We won the war The world is ours But without wisdom what good is power? What's the use of declaring The United States of Earth If we don't recognize What the planet's worth? It's not a smart bomb or a missile that I need It's soemthing to believe Went to the moon Put a man in space Cloned a sheep Out in cyberspace But no matter what miracles The scientists perform They just cannot explain Why a person's born They don't do the kind of magic tricks I need I need something to believe I shaved my head I dressed in black Put a ring in my nose Tattoo'd my back I read Nietzsche and Buber and Tolstoy and Kerouac I hitch-hiked cross-country A guitar on my back Even went to visit Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh Looking for something to believe I committed crimes I took stupid risks I though if God punished me That'd prove He exists I did acid and ecstacy Had unprotected sex When I maxxed out my credit I kept on writing checks But no jury of my peers convicted me I need something to believe Government's corrupt Politicians lie Both candidates Work for the same guy But there's got to be something that people still can do When we figure it out It'll be like we always knew You've got to cry you've got to burn You've got to bleed For something to believe
