River Whyless – New Beliefs lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd like to thank you for the crumbs you've left for me
Lookin' up from the middle class
Maybe I'll leave a few for the ones poorer than me
Terrified of a lower caste

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Terrified of what's below me
While from above you keep me down

[Chorus]
Isn't it strange when you can see but don't believe?
Maybe we're in need of new beliefs
A disgust for what's beneath us rather than a race for what's above
The blatantly cruel
[Feelin' ?] the fool

[Verse 2]
Keepin' 'em busy with two, three jobs a day
So they don't fill the street
My time is money, I won't give 'em either one
But medicate to help them sleep
Help them stay in our American dream

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Terrified of what's below them
While from above we keep 'em down

[Chorus]
Isn't it strange when you can see but don't believe?
Maybe we're in need of new beliefs
A disgust for what's beneath us rather than a race for what's above
The blatantly cruel
[Feelin' ?] the fool

[Bridge]
I've been elected by the Good Lord
He told me who to lock up and who to free
I've been told how the hell to get to heaven:
Gotta have a little money or a state ID
I've been elected by the Good Lord
He told me who to lock up and who to free
I've been told how the hell to get to heaven:
Gotta have a little money or a state ID

[Chorus]
Isn't it strange when you can see but don't believe?
Maybe we're in need of new beliefs
A disgust for what's beneath us rather than a race for what's above
The blatantly cruel
[Feelin' ?] the fool
