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.
