Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Pretending To See The Future lyrics

avoiding this is like avoiding the plague

we can't understand the advances we made

we try to resist but it's so hard to say no

we're pretending to see what the future will hold

we appear to be in control of our fate

just like soldiers believe they're in control of the war

its moving so fast we cannot see what we've done

we're losing our eyes just to say that we've won

My minds made up, my heart is broke

my fortune's is made me and I feel so choked

I can't understand how we can ever believe

the things we've asked for but never received

we never understood the times we asked

the way we wasted all the past

this neglected final into stage we must

endure to ever hope to see the first

my minds made up about the things we did

we never saw we believed we could say what we missed

My minds made up, my heart is broke

my fortune's is made me and I feel so choked

I can't understand how we can ever believe

the things we've asked for but never received

by making noises cause we cannot control

the things we hoped that we'd never fore-go

we appear to be in control of our fate

just like soldiers believe they're in control of the war

if its moving so fast we cannot see what we've done

we're losing our eyes just to say that we've won

My minds made up, my heart is broke

my fortune's is made me and I feel so choked

I can't understand how we can ever believe

the things we've asked for but never received
