Songtexte Pretending to See the Future - Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark
Avoiding
this
is
like
avoiding
a
plague
We
can′t
understand
the
advances
we
made
We've
tried
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
a
war
But
its
moving
so
fast
we
cannot
see
what
we′ve
done
We′re
losing
our
eyes
just
to
say
that
we've
won
My
mind′s
made
up,
my
heart
is
broke
My
fortune's
is
made
me
and
I
feel
so
choked
I
can′t
understand
how
we
could
ever
believe
The
things
we
asked
for
but
never
received
We
never
understood
the
times
we
asked
The
way
we
wasted
all
that
passed
This
neglect
is
final
it's
a
stage
we
must
Endure
to
ever
hope
to
see
the
first
My
mind′s
made
up
about
the
things
we
did
We
never
saw
we
believed
we
couldn't
say
what
we
missed
My
mind's
made
up,
my
heart
is
broke
My
fortune′s
is
made
me
and
I
feel
so
choked
I
can′t
understand
how
we
could
ever
believe
The
things
we
asked
for
but
never
received
By
making
noises
which
we
cannot
control
The
things
we
hoped
that
we'd
never
forgo
We
appear
to
be
in
control
of
our
fate
Just
like
soldiers
believe
they′re
in
control
of
a
war
But
it's
moving
so
fast
we
cannot
see
what
we′ve
done
We're
losing
our
eyes
just
to
say
that
we′ve
won
My
mind's
made
up,
my
heart
is
broke
My
fortune's
is
made
me
and
I
feel
so
choked
I
can′t
understand
how
we
could
ever
believe
The
things
we
asked
for
but
never
received
