I believe
by R.E.M.

When I was young and full of grace
and spirited--a rattlesnake.
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You´re on your honor not to tell
I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
Explain the change, the difference between
What you want and what you need, there´s the key,
Your adventure for today, what do you do
Between the horns of the day?
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
When I was young and give and take
And foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You´re on your honor, on your honor
Trust in your calling, make sure your calling´s true
Think of others, the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make, practice, practice makes perfect,
Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change
I believe my humor´s wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
When I was young and full of grace
As spirited a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You´re on your honor, on your honor
I believe in example
I believe my throat hurts
Example is the checker to the key
I believe my humor´s wearing thin
And I believe the poles are shifting
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
and spirited--a rattlesnake.
