Act Like Nothing's Wrong, Don't break the Bubble

There is a special breed of people that live in a fantasy world. The bubble they live in is carefully crafted. A critical part of living in the bubble is isolating yourself from the truth. Down at the park the Jehovah's Witnesses show up just about every day asking people to come into their bubble. In their bubble you don't vote. God is against voting. God will take care of everything and you voting is a waste of time. Great bubble that gets them nowhere, but putting everything in god's hands is comforting. Next you have the Trump cult. This is the bubble that will really wreck havoc. In the Trump bubble you just have to remember a few key things. First, they are out to get him. Trump is a fine fellow, and like Jesus he cannot sin. Every problem with Trump can be solved simply by saying " fake news".  

Bubbles are wonderful. Religion is the greatest bubble. Religion invented the idea where you believe one absurd thing, and then you build on it. To make Christianity work you simply say " The Bible is the word of God".  Now, you are free to make up anything you like and use the Bible as proof. It works very much like the Trump nonsense works. Once you make Trump infallible the rest is downhill. 

Sometimes there is a major shakeup. For instance at one point the religious had to admit the Earth revolved around the sun. No problem, just keep going. Trump goes to court is found guilty of stealing from college kids. No problem, just keep going. Act like nothings wrong. 

Ed Maguire was climbing up the corporation ladder
Access to the pension fund made Eddie's wallet that much fatter
Old Maguire was skimming off the top for twenty years
When the FBI caught Ed red-handed he broke down in tears
Eddie said, "I'm sorry I've been stealing for long
Now get my lawyers on the phone and act like nothing's wrong"
Act like nothing's wrong, everything's just fine
Hold your head up high and act like you don't really mind
If you're terrified like me of terrorists and crime
Please take my advice and simply act like nothing's wrong
Henry Ward was drinking every night until he dropped
One by one all of Henry's best and longest friendships stopped
Henry looked around and noticed that he was all alone
No one wrote him letters, no one called him on the telephone
Henry Ward was happy that his whiskey was so strong
Wall-eyed drunk it isn't hard to act like nothing's wrong
Mary Margaret Johnson was a good old-fashioned woman
Her daughter was an angel, she never saw it coming
Mary Margaret Johnson's daughter Sally was on crack
Sally took to turning tricks to keep herself well whacked

Sally disappeared into an old sad junkie's song
Mrs. Johnson knew just what to do: act like nothing's wrong
Act like nothing's wrong, act like nothing's wrong
Stick your chin out, just pretend you're really brave and strong
If you're terrified these days like most folks you will find
Ignorance is bliss, dig this: act like nothing's wrong
Hear and see no evildoers, act like nothing's wrong
