Time To Pretend lyrics

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.

There's really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everything must run it's course.

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

nikeh- I like what you had to say and totally agree with almost all...but maybe, they aren't saying the office job etc is the way to go either...i think to me they are showing two opposite sides of the spectrum, but both can be filled with complacency and lying to yourself...instead i think they say, don't think, its either this or that, but maybe use our imaginations to dream of the things we could do instead...maybe thats not explicit in the song, but thats what i get from that little section...but right on with everything else...just wanted to take it a step further :-)

I like this song, it seems to be very much like a satire on rock stardom or whatever, dosen't really matter though. Its just great music and for some reason there is a part of keyboards that make me feel like im in a video game and that is always a plus. Oh and i like how it has, to me anyways, this nostalgic feeling to it, which makes up all of my favevorit music, oh nostalgia how i live for thee and thy feeling of blissfulness you bring :p

there's something that makes me sad about all this fake life... talking about this time to pretend. The sad part is that its very hard to believe in people now the are not honest people with true love in this time, I love the movie and also this song, i think that everybody tried some time to pretend in any part of our lives specially if we get hurt, we are not looking for someone to understand us but yes to respect us because we want to show what we fell!
XOXO!

“ "We wrote [Time to Pretend] our senior year of college, and the music was inspired by a praying mantis we had in our house. She laid eggs and it died, and we laid the egg case on this kinda model pirate ship on the mantle piece, and the eggs hatched and all these baby praying mantises were climbing up the rigging of the ship, and it was pretty crazy...uhm so the music was inspired by our praying mantis that liked to dance to the Clash {laugh} and the lyrics are just about us imagining being rock stars...and yea fantasy rock star life. ”"

Its perfect.. Best lyrics I ever heard. So many people live the pretend life, always living to impress others and in the end it dosn't matter. You were just always "fated to pretend." People are always looking to change-get a new "model wife." Then they realize it is no better than before! Nobody really ever cared, except maybe your own family, and those you forgot. BTW, this song was perfect for the movie: "21."
