The Tragically Hip
"Pretend"
If I ask you a question
Are you going to lie to me?
Is that your question?
Because that one is easy
It's gripping the city and hitting the town and
No one on earth is doing this now
If you can pretend and I can
Pretend pretending won't end
and then and well then...
If you take the chances
I'll take the bows
Saying 'no one on earth is doing this now'
But if I ask you a question are you going to lie to me?
Is that your question?
Because that one is easy
If you don't pretend
And I don't pretend
Pretending might end
But pretend can pretend to end
You can't pretend
Yes I can, Yes I can, Yes I can
You can't pretend
Yes I can, Yes I can, Yes I can
