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
