About
The song is about the facade of cheerfulness and contentment that people are often forced to radiate. Although behind it hides the stark opposite.In dem Song geht es um die Fassade von Fröhlichkeit und Zufriedenheit, die Menschen oft gezwungen sind auszustrahlen. Obwohl sich dahinter das krasse Gegenteil verbirgt.

Lyrics
Now hear this
Life is not always what it seems to be
Things can be looking good on the outside
But not so wonderful on the inside
Yes I, here me know
Some times you may see a man smile
But he’s not happy
You see that woman
She has a lot going on
But she keeps hanging on
Society makes it look like all is well
Every man that lives, he has a story to tell
The man that free, and the man that lock up in a cell
Some man will even tell you that he really bean to hell
And who’s you or me to really tell
Experience reaches wisdom, that’s where it all start
But along the way a lot of people fall short
Some are drinking milk, and yet still they finding faults
They don’t know about the other around the corner sucking salt
You cant judge a book by its cover
Have you walked in their shoes
Or felt the pain of another
Pretending everything is fine
Pretending everything is fine
Pretending everything is fine
Everybody got story about life
How they had been through the struggles and strife
The mercy of Jah is what keeping us alive
In all of that some of us find it hard to survive
People don’t know
What you got into
They don’t know
You cant judge a book by its cover
Have you walked in their shoes
Or felt the pain of another
Pretending everything is fine
Pretending everything is fine
Pretending everything is fine
You cant judge a book by its cover
Have you walked in their shoes
Or felt the pain of another
Pretending everything is fine
It’s a sticky situation
Sticky situation
This is reality
Who says it’s OK when it’s not OK
Who says it’s all good when nothing is good
Here me know
We pretend
We pretend
We pretend like everything is alright
But it’s not
We’re still tryin’ not givin’ up
Life is not always what it seems to be
Things can be looking good on the outside
But not so wonderful on the inside
Yes I, here me know
Some times you may see a man smile
But he’s not happy
You see that woman
She has a lot going on
But she keeps hanging on
Society makes it look like all is well
Every man that lives, he has a story to tell
The man that free, and the man that lock up in a cell
Some man will even tell you that he really bean to hell
And who’s you or me to really tell
Experience reaches wisdom, that’s where it all start
But along the way a lot of people fall short
Some are drinking milk, and yet still they finding faults
They don’t know about the other around the corner sucking salt
You cant judge a book by its cover
Have you walked in their shoes
Or felt the pain of another
Pretending everything is fine
Pretending everything is fine
Pretending everything is fine
Everybody got story about life
How they had been through the struggles and strife
The mercy of Jah is what keeping us alive
In all of that some of us find it hard to survive
People don’t know
What you got into
They don’t know
You cant judge a book by its cover
Have you walked in their shoes
Or felt the pain of another
Pretending everything is fine
Pretending everything is fine
Pretending everything is fine
You cant judge a book by its cover
Have you walked in their shoes
Or felt the pain of another
Pretending everything is fine
It’s a sticky situation
Sticky situation
This is reality
Who says it’s OK when it’s not OK
Who says it’s all good when nothing is good

We pretend like everything is alright
But it’s not
We’re still tryin’ not givin’ up
