MGMT - 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 diggin' 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

But there is 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
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
