Billy was a silly boy

And Julie was no better

They soaked up the advertising believing it was true



Aren't we such a lucky pair

To live in this nirvana

No one really lives the way they tell it on the news



And there is no hell

And if you hear the bell

They toll for things so far away

It's untrue, so untrue



Guaranteed a happy home, complete with all the fittings

Billy has a future that would dazzle it's so bright

Julie starts a family and teaches them the lessons

She's learned living by the television every night



Oh they'd do so well

In a world where you sell

A dream to keep the battle's cry

Don't be fooled

this is true



'Cos there is no hell

And if you hear the bell

They toll for things so far away

It's untrue, so untrue

so true



Stand clear of of this

And their live lives so well

And they don't hear the tales

Of the world that's not hell



And they'd do so well

In a world where you sell

A dream to keep the battle's cry

Don't be fooled this is true



There is no hell

And if you hear the bell

They toll for things so far away

It's untrue, so untrue
