I wish I was a christian, knew what to believe 
I could learn a lot of rules to put my mind at ease 
I wish I had the money to live just like a queen 
With Demerols and Cashmere and every little thing 
I wish the ones who loved me would never go away 
Would've had to have my company every single day 

But who do I believe in this world without sound 
Who do I believe once they put you in the ground 
Who do I believe when the night's fallin' down 

I wish I lived in Paris and dreamed in French each night 
And had a dozen children and raised them up just right 
I wish I was John Lennon, free as a bird 
And all of you who sit and stare and hang on every word 
I wish I had the future tied up with a string 
Then I would never feel the blows the revolution brings 

But who do I believe in this world without sound 
Who do I believe once they put you in the ground 
Who do I believe when the night's fallin' down 

I wish I was a christian, but I cannot believe 
'Cause no one in the bible craves my company
