Have you heard the one about the guy who died upon a cross?

Or the one who said he split the moon and rode to heaven on a horse?

Some say you die but but you're born again on the same day that you leave

It sounds like make believe

Each tells you they're the only truth and lend a guiding hand

And if you don't believe them they'll tell you that you're damned

They can offer you some comfort when you are bereaved

But it's only make believe.

The one that you'll believe in is chosen for you when you're born

And if you change it later Hell awaits you so they warn

They'll sell you a place in paradise for when you cease to breathe

But it's only make believe

They all tell different stories.  They all have different ways

To the Power and the Glory and it's theirs alone (each says).

Some of them say killing other people is justified

If it helps disseminate their fables far and wide

It's better if the world percieves the same way they perceive

Even if it's make believe

If you believe in fairy tales don't be in any doubt

The ones with different stories would love to wipe you out

They say it in their prayers from Pakistan to Tel Aviv

And it's all just make believe

You've got your god you don't believe in other gods I guess

So… like me you are an infidel, I just believe one less

Ramadan and Hannukah. Diwali, Christmas Eve:

It's all just make believe.
