Lyric It s Only Make Believe

by Dean Friedman

I heard the news today some mother drowned her baby boys
and then went on TV and cried real tears but it was just a ploy.
People wonder what went wrong.
The answer s in this song.

You see, it s only make believe.
It s too impossible to believe.
And I d feel oh so blue,
If it were really true.

I heard somebody say, the war in Bosnia just won t go away.
And all those refugees, and the constant shelling day after day.
The rape and murdering. It can t be happening.

You see, it s only make believe.
It s too impossible to believe.
And I d feel oh so blue,
If it were really true.

And now when I go home I watch the news on CNN
And I remain unfazed when another ten year old gets shot again.
It doesn t bother me.
It s just a fantasy.

You see, it s only make believe.
It s too impossible to believe.
And we d feel oh so blue,
If it were really true.

You see, it s only make believe
I m sure it s only make believe
I hope it s only make believe.
