Let’s play pretend
Because we don’t actually hate people
C’mon…
You’re just jealous
You know who I’m talking about
They’re better than you
Don’t be proud
Admit it
You’re not perfect

Let’s play pretend
Because you don’t want to seem scared
Let’s slap every one of them in the face
C’mon…
Let’s get ‘em where it hurts
Stab them in the back and twist the knife slowly
So it rains red
Because prevention is always the best policy

Let’s play pretend
Because that one kid is seriously irritating
C’mon…
They’re breathing your air
Wasting your time
Let’s insult them
Throw them to the ground with our threats
And kick them in the ribs with everything they despise about themselves
Let’s send tears down their eyes and embarrass them until they find suicide a viable option

Let’s play pretend
Because I’m not really mad that we’re childish,
I’m not furious at our cruel society--
I’m not freaking out because it’s so unfair--
I’m not trembling because I’m about to explode--
I’m not seething at the fact that everyone finds it so inconsequential--
And I am not raging at the fact that we destroy people’s lives for petty reasons such as envy, fear,
Or because you’re on a power trip--

So let’s play pretend
Because we’re not mature enough to hate people for real reasons.
