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 hittin' 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, that's right  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
