Deep Space Natives - The Make Believe Dream Lyrics

Merrily , merrily,
Life is but a dream
Everything you think is real
Is not what it seems
Merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
When what they say it is
Ain't neva what it seems
Still falling for dat okey doke
Full of the smoke and mirrors
Idle lambs for the slaughter
As the viper fangs draw nearer
To pierce you in yo juggler
Drain the fight of a struggler
Being neck deep in that debt
See how desperate things can get
Stress done gotcha deranged
Doing strange thangs for change
Campaign be full of game
Turning pop weasels for champagne
For ah voodoo child never
Staying true to my endeavor
This braniac far too clever
To be pulling a rigged lever
That keeps the elite in the driver's seat
Like a speed demon steering
While heads be buried in Facebook
And ain't got no ears for hearing
They blind you with that lime light
Tell you who to rhyme like
Wind up with that law for dummies book
Trying to win that court fight
Seeking that platinum lining
Having never been told
That all that shines and glistens
Ain't necessarily gold
Warrior's losing focus
Due to Hollywood hocus pocus
Driven sick by the malarkey
Craving anarchy like the Joker
Merrily , merrily,
Life is but a dream
Everything you think is real
Is not what it seems
Merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
When what they say it is
Ain't neva what it seems
It's just an illusion
Is this the real life
Causing confusion
Or just fantasy
Fooling the masses
Full of make believe
Got them acting like asses
In an engineered reality
Every time I turn around they tellin' us how to roll
You can't go there come here - control
We puppets on a string makin' massa all the cream
Lighting fires with my mind x-man beam
Burning down the wall of power my folks built
Swimming in the teary river called white folks guilt
What a shame to know division isn't really real
Still enough of us believe it that we fighting just to live
At war within ourselves
Bombarded with the lie
That we are not creators sent to be here just to die
When we forget to live our world will no longer exist
Death comes wrapped in fake love, hugs and a kiss
Imma treat you how I'm wanting to be treated
Love on the people who are knowin' that they need it
Off to a galaxy, imagine so divine
To a reality where we maximize the time
Yeah
Merrily , merrily,
Life is but a dream
Everything you think is real
Is not what it seems
Merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
When what they say it is
Ain't neva what it seems
It's just an illusion
Is this the real life
Causing confusion
Or just fantasy
Fooling the masses
Full of make believe
Got them acting like asses
In an engineered reality
They'll trap you with that trickery
Rewrite all yo history
Ask'em who done it
And They'll pretend that it's a mystery
Downpress humanity
Blame us for the insanity
Fear mongering propaganda
Keepin'em paranoid and panicky
Don't know if ya goin' or ya comin cause you stressed out
Actions steady showing they don't care
We know what that's bout
Givin' ya things, sellin' ya dreams
Living life like a walking meme
We created and fa sho' we so deserve the finer things
Time to lift the curse
And create another universe
But first things first
Got to satiate yo thirst
To avoid the material
Temptations of the imperial
We keep the synaptic popcorn
Snap crackling like yah cereal
Money, sex, and mo drugs
Keepin' the people numb
Stacking lie upon a lie till we don't know why we succumb
Living in the void where folks don't care bout if we cry
Find the love within yourself
To make it sweeter by and by.
Merrily , merrily,
Life is but a dream
Everything you think is real
Is not what it seems
Merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
When what they say it is
Ain't neva what it seems
It's just an illusion
Is this the real life
Causing confusion
Or just fantasy
Fooling the masses
Full of make believe
Got them acting like asses
In an engineered reality
We doing way too much
We doing way too much
Like we so outta here
To where we can't be touched
We doing way too much
We doing way too much
Like we so outta here
To where we can't be touched
It's just an illusion
Me say causing confusion
Is this the real life
Or just fantasy
