Germs – Let’s Pretend

Out on the streets what ya lookin’ for

That thing in your bed’s

just another whore

That tear in your eyes not a tear at all

For that girl that you touch

you could never fall

That stream in your mind it’s a tearin’ sty

[Chorus:]

Let’s pretend you’re vicious

Let’s pretend you’re cool

Let’s pretend suspicious

Let’s pretend you’re fools

Your leather is tight but you wear it full

‘Gether is right but you gotta be cool

You cut your wrists

but you don’t feel the pain

You change your mind

but you still feel the same

To dream ain’t your kind just another lie…

[Chorus]

Sell us a story that we can believe

Spend your dollars on pills for relief

Love is a future that you still can’t see

Standing answers to questions are free

Scream in your boredom life’s just to die

[Chorus]

Dive in problems just like stealin’ a fix

Is your life to live or is it for kicks

Kick dirt in the faces of angry dream men

Stand on your chairs and spell

don’t let me in

Son’t stand in the light

cuz you know

you can’t cry

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
