lyrics

Making Believe Blues No.9

Everybody's only making believe, child.
In the end there will be nothing but grief.
It will make a sound. A big hole in the ground.
And I will not be outstanding.
I 'll be as bad as everyone ending.
Oh we'll go aground. It will make a sound.

(Refr.): ...and this will be the only thing to last.
We've eaten up so much. We never really learned from our past.
Hold up high your head today!
Show all the love in your words!
For everything will pass away.

Now you may be the only one with a brain.
And I might be the only one to give from the heart.
Will we make a sound? Make it move around?
If no one helps to set my sail high,
I'm gonna put my head in the sky
and I will begin- despite all that- make it circling!

(Refr.) Who is gonna be the one to last?
We've eaten up so much. We never really learned from our past.
Hold up high ....

(RAP):
It's so easy to make people break each others skull.
Heated discussions well-founded are not televised at all.
Politics is full of actors who do not receive
any kind of education- they're just making believe!
Responsibility, oversee history, doesn't buy any prime come the election time!

Religions have always been a reason for war.
I wonder what kind of god they're all talking to?!!
It doesn't seem to give them any power for peace.
They're afraid of dissidents. They're only making believe!

And in the worldwide streets of richness', you can bet on that,
there a few guys: shaking hands, calculating what's next
to make their profit sky-high, whatever it takes.
They buy foundations- decency to enter holy steps.

Envy, hate, fear and injustice, uh dollar-driven minds,
lust for power, sacred-scriptures - lots of reasons to be blind!
And if you're not blind it's far from saying you're safe from
pessimists, wiseacres or group pressure haste!!

So we all stand in a queue in this blue planets' blues.
The „mankind disease“ is always heading the news.
I would try to be Frodo if you bring me the ring! Throw it in the mountain of fate...- and always I'll sing!

(Refr.) Hold up high your head today!
Show all the love in your words, for everything will pass away.
(Oh we're just making believe child.)
