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 [bad word] has turned out [bad word] -
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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] has turned out [bad word] -
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!
