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, 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
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
