Contender
look what you've done, look what you've done what do you have now?
things that never come, I'm laying here in a dead-end room
is it time to come down?
at the back of a crowded scene
you saw the boys in white sing
"I'm a pretender"
but you never were, you never were a contender
I heard your same old tune, singing city sins
like you were the first one
gave up books for film, gave up film for time
now that you've got none
things that never come, I'm laying here in a dead-end room
is it time to come down?
at the back of a crowded scene
you saw the boys in white sing
"I'm a pretender"
but you never were, you never were a contender
I heard your same old tune, singing city sins
like you were the first one
gave up books for film, gave up film for time
now that you've got none
