Abney Park - 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!
