lyrics

I Can’t Believe It's True Larry Stallman and Barry Oreck

I once met a man who said the world was round;
as round as round can be.
He said the world was like a peach In its three dimensionality.
But I can't believe it's really true. There’s the proof in front of you
Look at the line of brown and blue
It looks so flat to me.

I just can't believe what I just can't believe
I can only believe what I see;
And I'll never believe that silly old lie,
That the truth will set me free.

I saw a tiger at the zoo, Blake's brilliant blazing beast;
A sign proclaimed that beautiful cat was soon to be extinct
But I can't believe it's really true; that there’s nothing you can do
For this creature so distinct stared at me and blinked.
Chorus

I read it in the papers that the planet's getting hot; hotter every day.
That storms will twist and the seas will rise and the bees will fly away.
But I can't believe it's really true; there’s really nothing we can do
All the facts must be askew 'Cause it snowed the other day.
Chorus

I reread the letter she sent in the Spring when our love was as big as the sky;
In it she said with her heart and her soul she’d love me to the day I die
But here I am and all alone Though I didn’t see her go
It is clear that bird has flown I believe that.

Hey you just can't believe what you just can't believe
You can only believe what you see; And don't ever believe that dirty old lie,
That the truth will set you. The truth will upset you
Yes the truth will set you free
