I've Been Wrong Before

I don't believe in UFOs and little men from Mars

I don't believe in magic lamps bought at junk bazaars

I don't believe the world will ever be without a war

I don't believe a lot of things--

But I've been wrong before!

I don't believe the souls of man can haunt you after life

I don't believe the world hangs on the edge of a knife

I don't believe we should stop thinking for an oath we swore

I don't believe a lot of things--

But I've been wrong before!

People tell me their crazy yarns

Like ghosts, and gods, and ESP, and UFOs in barns

Half this crap has turned out true--

If you close your mind at this point, the only fool is you!

I don't believe a God above invented all that's good

I don't believe that there's a need to rush from childhood

I don't believe the world began with a lion's roar

I don't believe a lot of things--

But I've been wrong before!

People tell me their crazy yarns

Like ghosts, and gods, and ESP, and UFOs in barns

Half this crap has turned out true--

If you close your mind at this point, the only fool is you!

I don't believe it's always kind to say the nicest thing

I don't believe a sugar lie is awe-inspiring

I don't believe in posing kind and sneaking out the door

I don't believe a lot of things--

But I've been wrong before!
