Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Pretending To See The Future

Avoiding this is like avoiding a plague We can't understand the advances we made We've tried to resist but it's so hard to say no We're pretending to see what the future will hold We appear to be in control of our fate Just like soldiers believe they're in control of a war But its moving so fast we cannot see what we've done we're losing our eyes just to say that we've won My mind's made up, my heart is broke My fortune's is made me and I feel so choked I can't 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 it's a stage we must Endure to ever hope to see the first My mind's made up about the things we did We never saw we believed we couldn't say what we missed My mind's made up, my heart is broke My fortune's is made me and I feel so choked I can't 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 we'd never forgo We appear to be in control of our fate Just like soldiers believe they're in control of a war But it's moving so fast we cannot see what we've done We're losing our eyes just to say that we've won My mind's made up, my heart is broke My fortune's is made me and I feel so choked I can't understand how we could ever believe The things we asked for but never received
