The Volokh Conspiracy - Sunday Song Lyric:

TV on the Radio's Dear Science may have been a critic's favorite, but it didn't top the NME writers' Best Album of 2008 list. That honor went to MGMT's Oracular Spectacular. Even if you've never heard of them, you've probably heard this Brooklyn-based duo. Here's a snippet from the lyrics of "Time to Pretend":

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 were fated to pretend.
