Let's stop pretending the whole world is happy and the wrong things we're doing are [Eb] right.

Let's stop [Bb] pretending [Ab] that poor [Fm] cats don't smell [Cm] and [Eb] dirty old hat [Db] bands are [Ab] clean.
We're all on [Fm] vacation [Cm] with no peace [Fm] of mind [Ab] and really not having [Eb] much fun.
We need [Bbm] some noses [Eb] back down on [Bbm] the grindstone [Eb] cause we've got some work to [Ab] be done.
Let's stop complaining and face up to life and weed out the bad seed [Db] we've sown.
Let's keep [Ab] in mind we're the home of [Fm] the brave [Eb] for the sake of old glory [Ab] alone.
Let's stop pretending [Fm] [Ab] we know [Fm] all the answers [Ab] and bow down our thick heads [Eb] and pray.
Denying [Bbm] the problems we [Eb] now have [Bbm] upon us [Eb] won't keep [Db] them hard [Ab] times away.
