  • What's up with what's going down
    In every city, in every town
    Cramping styles is the plan
    They've got us in the palm of every hand

    When we pretend that we're dead
    When we pretend that we're dead
    They can't hear a word we've said
    When we pretend that we're dead

    Come on, come on, come on, come on
    Come on, come on, come on, come on
    Come on, come on, come on, come on
    Come on, come on, come on come on

    Turn the tables with our unity
    They neither moral nor majority
    Wake up and smell the coffee
    Or just say no to individuality

    When we pretend that we're dead (pretend that we're dead)
    When we pretend that we're dead (pretend that we're dead)
    They can't hear a word we've said (pretend that we're dead)
    When we pretend that we're dead (pretend that we're dead)

    Come on, come on, come on, come on
    Come on, come on, come on, come on
    Come on, come on, come on, come on
    Come on, come on, come on come on

    When we pretend that we're dead (pretend that we're dead)
    When we pretend that we're dead (pretend that we're dead)
    They can't hear a word we've said (pretend that we're dead)
    When we pretend that we're dead (pretend that we're dead)

    Come on, come on, come on, come on
    Dead (pretend that we're dead)
    Dead (come on, come on, come on, come on)
    Dead (pretend that we're dead)
    Dead (come on, come on, come on, come on)
    Dead (pretend that we're dead)
    Dead (come on, come on, come on, come on
    Dead (pretend that we're dead)
    Dead (come on, come on, come on, come on)
    Dead (pretend that we're dead)
    Dead (come on, come on, come on, come on)
    Dead (pretend that we're dead)
    Dead (come on, come on, come on, come on)
    Dead (pretend that we're dead)
    Dead (come on, come on, come on, come on)
