Let's Pretend Songtext
von Jon Hunt

I became what I pretended to be - it was effortless
And everyone forgave me, accepted and believed in me
I can fool aristocracy, I can fool the underclass
I can get you to dress like me
I don′t even have to ask
I didn't know it would be this way
But now I′m here there will be hell to pay -

Let's pretend

I have played fake so well that I have now become real


So now I am simply a caricature
But I carry so much weight
I'm measured, powerful and sure
You can′t decide my fate
Treadmills, planes and golfing spots
Like Pac-Man gobbling up the dots
The sirens in the scenery
They all seem dumb and mute to me

Let′s pretend

I have played fake so well that I have now become real

And now I come to you as a friend
With my arsenal of lies
Validation on the news-stands
With a blank look in my eyes

They love me cos I'm ugly
They love me cos I′m rich
They love me cos I'm dying
And they love me when I bitch

Lets pretend

I have played fake so well that I have now become real
