Time to Pretend

I love this song by MGMT. In fact I quite dig MGMT.

But in reality, this is a terribly sad song. An accurate depiction of how many people do live their lives though.

Many, or most people, live their lives this way. they view it as "their decision" with "their vision" to "have some fun".

Its weird. This song has really got me thinking.

The song suggests that we have two choices in life;

1) live fast and die young, or

2) Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute.

There must be more to this life then those two choices right?

Thanks to Jesus, there most certainly is.

"I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and **** with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend"
