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.

Let's Play Pretend
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.
