I DON'T BELIEVE (without false start)

from ALTERNATIVE DEMOS [Digitally Remastered] by The Santairs

/

about

This is another one of those “dark” tunes I wrote years ago disguised as a happy tune at the end. I got the idea from John Lennon's song, “God.” This song is a much simplified version of that concept and I kept it that way. I remember a lot of my teenage friends told me that this particular song spoke to them. So I was happy it had the effect I wanted, even back then. This particular version is the same exact song as the original I DON'T BELIEVE except the first ten seconds is missing which was originally a false start that I eventually incorporated into the main song itself. If I never stumbled upon the false start mistake, this version would have been the only version. So now, I'm able to present another version of this song, just without the intro.

This is song #238.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I LEFT MY LIFE IN WHAT I THOUGHT I HAD BEFORE,
BUT NOW IT'S GONE, I SEE THE END.....
I WALKED THE STREETS OF PURPLE HAZE FROM OUT OF THE BLUE.
I SEE THE THINGS THAT WOULD SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOU.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN RELIGION.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOUR TRUTH, OHO!

I SEE THE BLOODY STREETS THAT WE HAVE MADE TO RUIN.
I LIVE IN DREAMS THAT MAKE ME CRY.
I WALK THE PATH OF LONELY TIMES OF HATE AND PAIN.
NOW I SEE A LIFE FOR ME THAT DIED ONCE AGAIN.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE.
I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I SEE.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN WAR.
I JUST BELIEVE IN ME, OHO!

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
