Pretending To See The Future - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys

Avoiding this is like avoiding a plague

We cant understand the advances we made

Weve tried to resist but its so hard to say no Were pretending to see what the future will hold

We appear to be in control of our fate

Just like soldiers believe theyre in control of a war

But its moving so fast we cannot see what weve done

Were losing our eyes just to say that weve won

My minds made up, my heart is broke

My fortunes is made me and I feel so choked

I cant 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 its a 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 couldnt say what we missed

My minds made up, my heart is broke

My fortunes is made me and I feel so choked

I cant 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 wed never forgo

We appear to be in control of our fate

Just like soldiers believe theyre in control of a war

But its moving so fast we cannot see what weve done

Were losing our eyes just to say that weve won

My minds made up, my heart is broke

My fortunes is made me and I feel so choked

I cant understand how we could ever believe

The things we asked for but never received
