[Verse 1]
Let's pretend that this is normal
Let's pretend it's all just fine
Let's pretend that it's legitimate and doesn't cross the line. Mmhmm
Let's pretend the wars are over
Let's pretend that we're all friends
Let's pretend that everything will come up roses in the end. Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Let's pretend this food is wholesome
Let's pretend that we are free
Let's pretend that this is paradise and not Gethsemane. Mmhmm
Make believe the World's against us
Make believe that I'm the cure
Make believe the money trickles down from rich men to the poor. Oh, yeah
[Bridge]
Come to me man, I can save you
I'm the only one who can
People tell me I've been chosen
I have concepts of a plan
[Verse 3]
Let's pretend I love our country
Let's pretend we need to fight
Follow me I'm right behind you over here just out of sight. Mmhmm
Make believe that I'm the answer
All you need to bring is trust
I'm your knight in shining armour somewhere underneath the rust. Oh, yeah
[Bridge]
Worship me man, I’m your saviour
Simply follow my commands
Everyone says I've been chosen
Let's pretend I understand
[Outro]
You pretend that this is normal
And pretend it's all just fine
Let's pretend I'm not destructive and you never saw the signs.
