"Mr. Believer" lyrics

Pick up the lines between your eyes
Grow up and get yourself to feeling younger
Longing for the sunshine and you're waiting for an early rise
Won't it just shame you, shall I stop and blame you?

No one's gonna call you an ambitious teacher
Or a "get things done, move on to the next one" achiever

You will always be merely a dreamer
You go by the misleading name of Mr. Believer

Caustic remarks throw you aside
Distraught with disbelief buried alive
And I have seen the likes of you grow weaker
With each passing day, men like me digging your grave deeper

Wrapped up and blindfolded and you're barely breathing
Broke, nowhere to go, but eyes still shining
You crass, cowardly clown, there's no Shangri-La
And it don't get any better than right where you are

You will always be merely a dreamer
You go by the misleading name of Mr. Believer
And you will always be merely a dreamer
You go by the misleading name of Mr. Believer

Ah, you will always be merely a dreamer
You go by the misleading name of Mr. Believer
And you will always be merely a dreamer
You go by the misleading name of Mr. Believer

Mr. Believer
