Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in forced entry
Don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by
Wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in death row
Skid row or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi
It just went off in my hand
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in cocaine
Got a speed-ball in my head
I could cut and crack you open
Do you hear what I said
Don't believe them when they tell me
There ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy
The sick stay poor
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karma's going to get him
If I don't get him first
Don't believe in rock 'n' roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
It spirals and turns
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in the 60's
The golden age of pop
You glorify the past
When the future dries up
Heard a singer on the radio late last night
He says he's gonna kick the darkness
'til it bleeds daylight
I...I believe in love
I feel like I'm falling
Like I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside of me
With a presence I can feel
I...I believe in love
| jehahn | Posted: Mar 08, 2006 - 12:33 It's funny. I'm a huge U2 fan, but I know countless other fans who loathe and despise this track. I've come to accept that I'm probably one of about 2 dozen people in the world who actually think this track is great. |
| zoog | Posted: Feb 17, 2006 - 20:42 Never been a huge U2 fan, for whatever reason. Most of their stuff just doesn't turn my crank. But this track rocks. |
| (former member) (Shadow Valley Condos) | Posted: Feb 17, 2006 - 20:41 "...don't believe in rape, but every time she passes...wild thoughts escape." and then The Edge with his sonic buzzsaw. I so wish I could get past Bono's sophomoric lyric writing. "Don't believe in Goldman / his type like a curse. Instant karma's gonna get him / if I don't get him first." Does anyone really remember Goldman's book about Lennon? Not really. So then this lyric was a little penny-ante swipe at the guy that probably gave him more press than he deserved. Then, "gonna kick the darkness till it bleeds daylight." Yes, he gives credit to Cockburn. But how about not stealing it in the first place? |

Yet another piece of garbage from the most overrated band ever. |
| jah_blessed (Netherlands) | Posted: Feb 03, 2006 - 04:36 Just missed it! Aaargh! |
| Eul0gy (A Little To The Left) | Posted: Feb 03, 2006 - 03:46 I'm stunned. I never thought I'd like another U2 song. |
| Rickvee (New Orleans) | Posted: Jan 19, 2006 - 12:27 Fantastic song from a very underrated album. |
| nick_valensi (Quito, Ecuador) | Posted: Jan 19, 2006 - 12:26 LOVE RATTLE AND HUM!!! one the best albums ever! Love this song, although Lennon's "God" is truly Godlike. |
