Foo Fighters – The Pretender .
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in, again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I’m finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It’s never-ending, never-ending
Same old story
[Chorus: x2]
What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
In time or so I’m told
I’m just another soul for sale, oh, well
The page is out of press
We are not permanent
We’re temporary, temporary
Same old story
[Chorus: x2]
I’m the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I’m the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I’m what’s left, I’m what’s right
I’m the enemy
I’m the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
[Chorus: x2]
[Repeat: x2]
What if I say I’m not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all, pretend)
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
