Life​’​s a Bloody Show

Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
Just pretend you are that star
That everybody says you are
Just pretend that life's a bloody show
And don't let doubt possess your mind
Leave that demon far behind
Just believe and they won't ever know

[Chorus]
Oh, don't let on your soul has died
A hole has opened up inside
Just pretend, ‘cause they don't need to know
And don't let on that wealth is health
That all you love is just yourself
And how you sneer at the peasants down below

[Verse 2]
Keep up the daily senselеss chatter
Spread confusion, bow and flatter
'Causе it's just their money that you're after
And keep on boasting, pound your chest
You always knew you were the best
And smile if the applause turns into laughter

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, just pretend you're doing well
Your love life isn't shot to hell
Pretend the rainbow's end is on your doorstep
And look inside your heart to find
That you're not even halfway kind
The trouble is it's gold is all you worship

[Verse 3]
Now just pretend the gods are smiling
Even though the debts are piling
Just pretend you're happy as a moose
And just pretend your sneaky lies
Your nasty little alibis
Somehow all add up to be the truth

[Chorus]
Oh, don't let on your soul has died
A hole has opened up inside
Just pretend, ‘cause they don't need to know

[Outro]
They don't need to know
'Cause life is just a bloody show
Just pretend you are that star
Everybody says you are
Just pretend that life's a bloody show
