Lyrics:

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're neither moral nor majority
Wake up and smell the coffee
Or just say no to individuality

When we pretend that we're dead
(Pretend 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 we're dead)
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

When we pretend that we're dead
(Pretend 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 we're dead)
When we pretend that we're dead

Dead (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Dead (Pretend we're dead)
Dead (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Dead (Pretend we're dead)
Dead (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Dead (Pretend we're dead)
Dead (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Dead (Pretend we're dead)
Dead (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Dead (Pretend we're dead)
Dead (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Dead (Pretend we're dead)
Dead (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Dead (Pretend we're dead)
Dead (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Dead (Pretend we're dead)
