Lyrics:

Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up

Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I... I believe in love

Don't believe in forced entry
Don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by
Wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in death row
Skid row or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi
It just went off in my hand
I... I believe in love

Don't believe in cocaine
Got a speed-ball in my head
I could cut and crack you open
Do you hear what I said
Don't believe them when they tell me
There ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy
The sick stay poor
I... I believe in love

Don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karma's going to get him
If I don't get him first
Don't believe in rock 'n' roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
It spirals and turns
I... I believe in love

Don't believe in the 60's
The golden age of pop
You glorify the past
When the future dries up
Heard a singer on the radio late last night
He says he's gonna kick the darkness
'Til it bleeds daylight
I... I believe in love

I feel like I'm falling
Like I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside of me
With a presence I can feel
I... I believe in love

It's not as great as "God" by John Lennon. The lyrics of the first part were John Lennon's personal closure to The Beatles, this one is more good morals without the word "God". So both are good in their own ways.

The melody of "God" is actually great. "God Part II" is rocking but not one of their most original songs. I don't like the production. The best new song of the album though.

42 points -> 4 stars

It sounds like the band is in ague - weird song. I like the lyrics though.

3½ stars.

Something different from U2 and for me it sounds fresh rocker.
