| If you cry, make sure that they can’t hear,
|
| And if you laugh, draw your enemies near,
|
| And if you find yourself somewhere between doubt and belief,
|
| Remember, remember to think on your knees.
|
| Never trust that man who’s been smiling all his life,
|
| His fears will catch up in the end,
|
| He’s standing tall while the rest of us are blind,
|
| Oh brother, it’s all just pretend, it’s all just pretend.
|
| And if you run, run so nobody can catch up,
|
| And if you drink, you better see the bottom of that cup,
|
| And if you lose your mind, make sure your friends can get it back,
|
| And can you find, all the beauty and the pain that we had,
|
| And all we’ve been doing is painting our faces,
|
| Taking our lives to the brink,
|
| Drowning our thoughts with our weak information,
|
| Wishing we had something more to give,
|
| Never trust that man who’s been smiling all his life,
|
| His fears will catch up in the end,
|
| He’s standing tall while the rest of us are blind,
|
| Oh brother, it’s all just pretend,
|
| It’s all just the things that we wished for when we planned our lives,
|
| But it’s been hard to live, and it’s been hard to die,
|
| We’ve seen seperation from what once was clear,
|
| Believe in ourselves, there was nothing to fear.
|
| Never trust that man who’s been smiling all his life,
|
| His fears will catch up in the end,
|
| He’s standing tall while the rest of us are blind,
|
| Oh brother, it’s all just pretend
|
| Oh brother, it’s all just pretend
|
| Oh brother, it’s all just pretend, it’s all just pretend. |
