Doc Jazz - If We Pretend lyrics

You can pretend you’re a sailor Just because you have a boat in the isles You can pretend you’re a tailor Cause you’re always dressed to the nines Or you might think you’re a policeman Just because you told a man how to drive Well I hate to be breaking up your peace, man But it looks to me like you need a life If we pretend hard enough We can say the worlds a beautiful place If we pretend hard enough We can hide its most ugly face If we pretend hard enough We can see what was accomplished by the human race But it’s all about nothing If they still can’t spare a child You can pretend you’re a doctor Just because you sold your herbal tea You can pretend you’re a painter Who will be recognized in history You can pretend you’re a baker Just because you baked an apple pie Well I hate to be breaking up your peace man But stop trying to pretend you’re civilized What you pretend is only your imagination Even if you need it to avoid all those frustrations In the mean time life fulfills its cruel reality Outside your bubble, there’s a world in deep discrepancy
