Game Of Pretend Lyrics

Electric interface

A septic inner-faith

Harvesting a new brand of grief

Digesting images of:

Teeth, just a little bit whiter

A future, just a little bit brighter

A waistline, just a little bit leaner

Grass, just a little bit greener

The pixels grow distorted

The narrative contorted

So you follow the example

Surrender once again

Taking up the mantle

In the great game of:

Car, just little more shiny

That kid, just a little less whiny

Wife, just little more pristine

Life, sweeter in the screen

A brand new way to heaven

If you bought the fast connection

So you follow the example

Of your imaginary friend

Taking up the mantle

In the great game of pretend

Great game of pretend

Great game of pretend

Get online, stay in line

Or you just might be left behind

Ignorance, opulence

Destroying self-confidence

Bereft, new theft

The kind you gladly accept

Through lens, fake friends

Helping you to pretend

Pretend, pretend

Helping you to pretend

Pretend, pretend

Helping you to pretend

So you follow the example

Surrender once again

Taking up the mantle in the great game of pretend

Follow the example

Of your imaginary friend

Taking up the mantle in the great game of pretend

Great game of pretend

Great game of pretend

Great game of pretend

Great game of...

Great game of pretend
