1192

fake

he made up a story

that it was all a story made up

he, they or the machine

made up such a story

lied that the others had lied

the sky was falling

so we build a wall

you know how that is

he stole from you

said the others stole

I’m telling you this

I believe you’ll believe

when I tell you it’s true

I’m telling you

I know you know who you can trust

who you can’t

all a story made up

he, they or the machine

made up such a story

white

and brushed under

it was a burnished lie

triumphant

one for the mantelpiece

no one would know

the lie in plain sight

lied that the others had

lied

and the lie got bigger

sort of thing would set you free

someone come to tell us

lied the way an animal would

the way God lies to His chosen

He made up the story we are

that we’d made up the story

that all it was was a story made up

that all of us were liars

he worked out

what money can buy

that’s how he bought us off

honestly

(that’s how I always begin)

he, they or the machine

made up such a story

no one will ever know

truth was an idea in God’s head once

(here we flicker in a cave)

God filled up with the laughing gas

and God has drifted away
