It's All Just Pretend

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.
