They create a reality that people live for, celebrate, murder for in religious wars So that the domain of make believe and the domain of make belief overlap And influence and affect each other Both are very very powerful One is when you know you're pretending And one is what you believe is absolutely true for the whole universe Where's my big break, baby? Hanks ain't waiting in the wings You keep saying "maybe" But you wanna see what's underneath Fear, anxiety Outside, inside of me Isolation, tragedy Gas it out entirely Fear, anxiety Something wrong with me Desecration, hypocrisy A make belief society You know "let's make believe" It's pretending It's being who you are not The impetus of this rhetoric is to make belief To make people feel that this is their actual social, political, reality Where's my payback guarantee? Or did I do this all for free? Just a tool that you've been screwing Playing the fool is what I'm doing Fear, anxiety Outside, inside of me Isolation, tragedy Gas it out entirely Fear, anxiety Something wrong with me Desecration, hypocrisy A make belief society Of course we know what make believe is It's related to the Stanislavskian "As If" It's related to children's bedtime stories A politician especially in so called "democratic countries" When a politician campaigns This politician always, always is making believe They know that what they're saying on the campaign trail is not true They know and we know that they have been costumed They have been scripted They have been prepared They have been rehearsed It's more tightly scripted than a Hollywood movie "Make belief" is when these kinds of actions Create a substrate of belief that people are willing to die for The most obvious examples are, of course, religion When someone believes in divinity of Jesus Christ Or the profit of Muhammed That Moses led the children of Israel Or that Vishnu took a human form These things are not in doubt for the people that believe them And in actually performing the rituals In the Jewish seder Or the Christian communion Or the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca Or the Ramlila in India These actions, these performances actually create the belief They create a reality Fear, anxiety Outside, inside of me Isolation, tragedy Gas it out entirely Fear, anxiety Something wrong with me Desecration, hypocrisy A make belief society Fear, anxiety They are presenting this within the arena of make believe Isolation, tragedy They want you to believe what they are saying as the truth Fear, anxiety Even we are not something, we share in being that very something we are not A make belief society
