Song lyrics
Whats 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 
and they ignored what we said
When we pretend that we're dead

(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

We 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 we're dead) 
and they ignored what we said
(pretend we're dead)
When we pretend that we're dead 

(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

When we pretend that we're dead
(pretend we're dead)
When we pretend that we're dead
(pretend we're dead) 
and they ignored what we said
(pretend we're dead)
When we pretend that we're dead

one more thing just to get its rating worse, if you have gta san andreas listen to radio x. unfortunatley you'll hear this but you hear little gems like guns n' roses and the stone roses enjoy

the lyrics to this song are really cool
the guitar is awsome, it's probebly the most radio friendly song L7 ever did and also their biggest in regards to radio play and being the song they are known for, thoes who don't go who is L7 go ohh they sing pretend were dead,
i think you just have to give them a chance a lot of their songs really clever when you actually listen to them and the band definatly have their own sound that is very distinctive i dunno i guess you iether love it or you hate it.

Well, are the lyrics really correct? I seem to hear "they can hear all what we said" instead of "and they ignored what we said"..

Anyway, I just discovered this band, and of course it is a relatively old band, it's style is punk/grunge mainly, so anyone who don't appreciate these genres will most likely say it sucks, well, I think slipknot sucks and that doesn't mean it does, so please people don't be ignorant.

I liked this band since the first song I heard, although this one is one of the songs I like the least.
