Let's pretend that Catholics and Protestants are friends Let's pretend that everyone is free in East Berlin My three friends are equal Though they're never quite the same Let's pretend that everybody has the same last name What is your favourite colour? Is it the same as mine? Grey, grey, grey, grey, grey Grey, grey, grey, grey, grey Let's pretend that man and wife stay true until they die Let's pretend that children never learn to cheat or lie My two friends are happy and contented and quite sane Let's pretend there never was an Abel or a Cain What is your favourite weather? Is it the same as mine? Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Ocean wind making me shiver Making me come alive Let's pretend The Beatles never broke up after all Let's pretend that Jesus came back down to save us all My one friend is always in my body and my mind Let's pretend that prisoners are pardoned for their crimes Who is your favourite uncle? Is he the same as mine? Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
