Wish To Believe
I humbly offer to you,
an explanation for the madness
I submit the George Costanza defense,
as the reason for things which make no sense
A lie is not a lie,
if you choose to believe it's true
If you wish to believe it's not a lie,
then the consequences are on you
Fairy tales are for children,
and adult fantasies are for grownups
who wish to disengage from reality
A lie is not a lie,
if this is what you choose to believe
Do you wish to believe in myths,
do you wish to believe in what ifs?
Well, the world of make believe
is filled with fairies blowing stardust
But the world of reality
is filled with lovers of avarice and lust
In whom did you say you trust?
If the George Costanza defense
is your alibi for things which make no sense
Then a lie really ain't a lie ...
and a good laugh is what you have,
when you know you really need a good cry
