lyrics

Make Believe

I need you, you need me
To make the songs you hear for free
Like the earth, when it was new
Land of milk & honey too

I was born to live between
Turntable and the mp3
Generation X to you
Who can tell what a dream can do?

Don’t believe
Don't believe
Don’t believe, make believe
Make my day, make it, make it

Casio and a VISA debt
A 4-track and a Memorex
Failed every music class I took
Couldn’t play by the music books

Bought a mic with my wedding cash
Learned to mix, learned to track
Wrote the words I had to sing
Learned some chords, did my own thing

Don’t believe
Don't believe
Don’t believe, make believe
Make my day, make it, make it

Smooth cats with their shiny feeds
Passin round the new disease
Give it up for stolen hooks
Pickpockets on pocketbooks

On the road, livin’ the dream
In my discount limousine
Playing clubs, playing bars
Record stores and house parties

Don’t believe
Don't believe
Don’t believe, make believe
Make my day, make it, make it
