We have virtue in a bottle, Religion without tears All the wonders of the world, The thrills without the fears Pain is an illusion, There's a fortune in your smile, But let's forget the game just for a while Let's pretend we're human for a day Like ordinary people for a change Let's pretend we're human, Let's pretend we're human, Let's pretend we're human for a day Let the food book guide your soul, For your sadness there's a pill; When your friends have grown too old, send them rolling down the hill And spend your days in sunshine, Let your heart forget the lie, But there's a kind of beauty That money just can't buy Let's pretend we're human for a day Like ordinary people for a change Let's pretend we're human, Let's pretend we're human, Let's pretend we're human for a day I see us breaking down the walls we've built around our hearts I see us putting back together what hate has torn apart It might be just a dream, just a shadow on the wall, But for one day let's pretend, We're human after all Let's pretend we're human for a day Ordinary people for a change Let's pretend we're human, Let's pretend we're human, Oh, let's pretend we're human for a day.
