Pretenders
We're makin' our way but we're short on time
Devils gotta wait cause we ain't done livin'
Thinkin' about cash as we walk that line
Pretenders in my head but I just won't listen
Staring at the planes on the Miracle Mile
Dreamin' of the day I get the key to my city
It's funny how they say that we're born to die
Waste another day
What's the point I'm missin'
This feelin' won't last
Can't put it in a bottle
Once your life's on parade
You'll never get it back
It's gone in a flash
Can't beg or steal or borrow
This is a note to self
Without apology
So just remember
Never surrender
They're just pretenders
They take your dreams away
Don't hate it
It's overrated
Just celebrate it
There will be better days
Remember
Never surrender
They're just pretenders
They take your dreams away
Don't hate it
It's overrated
Just celebrate it
There will be better days
Devil in disguise ain't no friend of mine
Grateful how the Dead seem to keep on giving
At times along the way I might've lost my shine
Lyin' in my bed I got that crystal vision
There's something in the words gonna change your mind
Careful of the games and the politicians
It's funny how they say that we're born to die
If it's just another day then what's the point in wishin'
Talkin' so fast
It's gettin' hard to swallow
Livin' in the past
Ain't where you wanna be
Now we're raising up a glass
To beauty and the sorrow
This is an ode to health
Without apologies
So just remember
Never surrender
They're just pretenders
They take your dreams away
Don't hate it
It's overrated
Just celebrate it
There will be better days
Remember
Never surrender
They're just pretenders
They take your dreams away
Don't hate it
It's overrated
Just celebrate it
There will be better days
Heaven, heaven
Ain't no winners in heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
Ain't no winners in heaven, heaven
So just remember
Never surrender
They're just pretenders
They take your dreams away
Don't hate it
It's overrated
Just celebrate it
There will be better days
Remember
Never surrender
They're just pretenders
They take your dreams away
Don't hate it
It's overrated
Just celebrate it
There will be better days
Devils gotta wait cause we ain't done livin'
Thinkin' about cash as we walk that line
Pretenders in my head but I just won't listen
Staring at the planes on the Miracle Mile
Dreamin' of the day I get the key to my city
It's funny how they say that we're born to die
