he's got a hot rod el camino, he's playin' hendrix on the stereo, wearin blue jeans and high tops, he's got a.45 in the glove box, and there's a preacher on the sidewalk, and he's beatin' down on his bible, if you ever listen to his lesson, he'll tell you how to get to heaven, everybody needs something to believe in, everybody's just lookin' for a better way, searchin' through the creases, siftin' through the tiny bits and peices, everybody's lookin', everybody's lookin', for something to believe in, he's got an office on the tenth floor, he's got his nameplate on the glass door, and he's been dealin' in the market, he's gonna hit it big, but he hasn't yet, there's a farmer down the dirt road, and he's prayin for the mother lode, gotta get a rain on his dry land, to save his family from the money man, everybody needs something to believe in, everybody's just lookin' for a better way, searchin' through the creases, siftin' through the tiny bits and peices, everybody's lookin', everybody's lookin', for something to believe in, well there's twenty-five on a row boat, and they're floatin' into the gold coast, riskin' everything for one chance, at a better life in the promised land, everybody needs something to believe in, everybody's just lookin' for a better way, searchin' through the creases, siftin' through the tiny bits and peices, everybody's lookin', everybody's lookin', for something to believe in
