Pretend

lyrics

Sieve-headed, watch it drain away
Incomprehension is the slap-back moment of dread
Learned a new thing at school today
Won’t take it further ahead

Slack-jawed, missed the joke again
Sink in the ground, hear the muffled sounds over my head
T-rex arms pushing fate away
Play dead for the whole day

Pretend
Don’t want to give it away
Offend
Crawl under a stone and dip your nose in your gamma ray

It’s important to understand the differences between being direct and being rude
Directness is frank and honest
While rudeness is aggressive and disparaging
By using direct speech you can be clear without making your listener feel like they have to defend themselves and their ideas
For an interaction to be successful
The needs of both communicators needs to be considered

Pretend
Don’t want to give it away
Offend
Crawl under stone and dip your nose in your gamma ray

You sense
You’re on a different plain
And your friends
Are other chicks in the nest who fatten up as you waste away

You’re in a different page
And you fear
Humiliation is life
And Confidence was a holiday

Details fall away from me
End chat, coz the facts crawled out of my head
Tongue tied and oblivious
Don’t retain what I read

Tormented by technology
Back turned and it leap frogs over my head
Fell behind where I’m supposed to be
Forgot the words that you said
