Foo Fighters The Pretender Lyrics
Songwriters: Mendel, Nate; Shiflett, Christopher; Grohl, David; Hawkins, Taylor;
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
They 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

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 that I will never surrender?

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 that I'll never surrender?

In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print, we are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story

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 that I'll never surrender?

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?

I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face, mirrorin' your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll 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

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?

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 that I'll never surrender?

What if I say you're 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?

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?

I agree with Killa-Deadly.If you love the band you gotta love a lot of their songs, not just a couple per album.So if you`re a real FF fan you really should buy the reall thing.

And still The Pretender rocks!

hecky08

bands dont make any money off there cds at all. All the major record companies make the money off the cds. Thats why the companies sign bands, because it is a big profit. The actual bands get there money from touring and the signed deals(which doesnt directly depend on record sales). all cds do, is promote the music, giving popularity to the band and/or artist. the only people losing money because of limewire is the major music companies, and the amount is so insignificant(in contrast) that they dont really bother with it thats one reason why limewire is still running.
so before you start trying to tell someone off, at least get your facts straight


Male Jan 03, 2008 at 02:05 PM by Hecky08

Plus that album has more than one ace song have you heard the others if you havent buy the album and listen to em there awesome erase/replace is my favourite but you will all have yer own but still buy the cd keep the foo fighters going


Male Jan 03, 2008 at 02:00 PM by Hecky08

This is a comment by music man ...

be my guest but the rest of us gonna keep downloading until they bring price's down to what it actually take's to make a cd!!!

i would like tyo point out if this happened there would be no artists who would do this for a living because they would make like no money from there cd's so when you find people willing to make music for free tell me and then we will see who is the better band so download it if yu want but when all good music dies out because of people downloading it remember you were part of the people who destroyed good music


Female Jan 03, 2008 at 12:03 AM by cheesie_guitars Female Stars

Male Jan 02, 2008 at 09:59 PM by roborob4
