We Don't Believe It
We don't believe it but we know we're going to lose
Reality can't amuse when we blow a fuse
We don't believe it but we know we're going to win
Reality can't begin when we turn a spin
We don't believe it but we know we're going to ache
Reality can't awake when we feel a quake
We don't believe it but we know we're going to heal
Reality can't reveal when we take a deal
We don't believe it but we know we're going to wed
Reality can't embed when we see a dread
We don't believe it but we know we're going to sire
Reality can't inspire when we catch on fire
We don't believe it but we know we're going to die
Reality can't ally when we have a high
We don't believe it but we know we're going to live
Reality can't forgive when we free a sieve
