Doc Jazz - If We Pretend Lyrics
You can pretend you’re a sailorJust because you have a boat in the islesYou can pretend you’re a tailorCause you’re always dressed to the ninesOr you might think you’re a policemanJust because you told a man how to driveWell I hate to be breaking up your peace, manBut it looks to me like you need a lifeIf we pretend hard enoughWe can say the worlds a beautiful placeIf we pretend hard enoughWe can hide its most ugly faceIf we pretend hard enoughWe can see what was accomplished by the human raceBut it’s all about nothingIf they still can’t spare a childYou can pretend you’re a doctorJust because you sold your herbal teaYou can pretend you’re a painterWho will be recognized in historyYou can pretend you’re a bakerJust because you baked an apple pieWell I hate to be breaking up your peace manBut stop trying to pretend you’re civilizedWhat you pretend is only your imaginationEven if you need it to avoid all those frustrationsIn the mean time life fulfills its cruel realityOutside your bubble, there’s a world in deep discrepancy
