Oh-oh, we’re the great dissemblers
\nPretending that we’re doing well
\nOur need is such we dissemble too much
\nWe’re deceitful as everyone can tell<\/div>\n
Oh-oh, yes we’re the great dissemblers
\nAdrift in a world of our own
\nWe play the game but to our real shame
\nOthers are left to grieve all alone<\/div>\n
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
\nToo real when we feel what our hearts must conceal<\/div>\n
Yes we’re the great dissemblers
\nJust lying and faux like a clown
\nWe seem to be what we’re not, you see
\nWe’re wearing our deceit like a crown
\nPretending the world is not round<\/div>\n
