They say: Don't stop believing
Give no room to reason
Build it and they will come
I've no quibble with that drivel
It's alright for some
But I was born in a European nation
In the twentieth century
And what I've seen and what I've learned
Means it's not right for me
Thy say: Don't stop believing
'Cause if you stop believing
Very soon you'll regret it
But what they believe
Is you can believe
And still end up in a fiery pit
So I sit in this European nation
In the twenty-first century
And I know someone's got it wrong
Is it them or is it me?
During the deepest darkest nights
I feel that they must be right
But when I see the morning light
Science wins again
They say: Don't stop believing
'Cause if you just believe
Your future's like the shining Sun
I say: I would believe
But there's all these beliefs
What if I pick the wrong one?
When I look at the European nations
Down through the centuries
Every single belief system
Ended up causing grief, incalculable grief
And if you ask me now
I think that's what I believe
