Pretender

You think you know what we all need
Your mind is so elevated, follow your creed
So perfect, perfect in your delusion
Disagreements are unwarranted intrusions
I don't need to speak to you to know who you are
To know who you are

I'm knocking you down so you just might break
Pretending so long, you forgot to stay awake
When we go down, when we go down
You keep us on the floor
Count up the bodies, count up the bodies
Just keep your score

Put your image on display
A plastic life we want someday
The best ideas are in your brain
Knock them once and you will break

We want to see you fall to your knees
We're right to criticize you if you're just a tease
So happy, happy in our confusion
Purposeful deceit is the logical conclusion
I don't need to look at you to know what you are
To know what you are

I'm knocking you down so you just might break
Pretending so long, you forgot to stay awake
When we go down, when we go down
You keep us on the floor
Count up the bodies, count up the bodies
Just keep your score

Put your image on display
A plastic life we want someday
The best ideas are in your brain
Knock them once and you will break

Just keep, keep on pretending
