Matthew Bacon - Imaginary Friend Lyrics

It began with a
Look up to the sun
Soaked into the ears
Thriving on their fears
Used as leverage
Used to gain their pledge
You don't want to offend
Imaginary friends

I have a new idea
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I'd like to ask some questions
"No, no, no, no, no"
I found some bones in the dirt
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa"
Well have you seen this man?
"No, no, no, no, no, no"
And you believe? They say
"Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea"

It took tiny minds
Back in olden times
To buy the fiction
So much tradition
Forced in our children
But now that they've grown up
You'd think that they'd grow up
Of course new points of view
Are a lot to bear when your mind's an aquarium

I have a new idea
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa"
I'd like to ask some questions
"No, no, no, no, no"
I found some bones in the dirt
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa"
Well have you seen this man?
"No, no, no, no, no, no"
And you believe? They say
"Yea"

Tied and sold to work
Tied to a post to burn
Pride banned 'cause it's queer
All 'cause they're just afraid
They're afraid
They're afraid

Blood spilled, bang their chest
To prove whose book is best
Remove heads to scare
All 'cause they're just afraid
They're afraid
They're afraid

A species gone insane!

And after all
When we're all
All gone
What a ball

Lives wasted in rules
Lives wade in holy stool
Drive their logic crusade
All 'cause they're just afraid
They're afraid
They're afraid

Whoa they're afraid
They're afraid
They're afraid

It began with a look up to the sun, they're afraid
It began with a look up to the sun, they're afraid

How fun would it be to be devised and
To speak to an imaginary friend?
Some minds are not so hard to amaze
Some things aren't much more than just a phase

Bet one day we will all look back and laugh
I bet one day we will all look back and laugh, yea
