To pretend is to live
In the muddy waters of dignity
In the violent world of mortgage rates
In the anxiety of consumption.

Exercise your skill to die on a raw
Attack of unseen fires and thorns
Publicize your fears and blow up our minds
With terror and angst no reason why.

Nobody can predict when you'll be giving in
Nobody can decide if you corrupt your smile
If anybody could see how broken you are
Beyond your average actsÂ…

I am one of those who ever failed
So I give my rock and roll away

An after all, when you assume your role
You're part of the game and that game is
Part of your new behavior
All bridges are burnt and fences are
All closed, you're deviate, you're fired,
You're a total freak and somehow that raises
Your pride

You are one of those who ever failed
So I give you my rock and roll away

If anybody could see how broken you are 
Beyond your average actsÂ…

You are one of those who ever failed
So I give you my rock and roll away.
