The Pretender by Foo Fighters

This is a really good song and yet it's probably not even in my top 5 favorite songs by Foo Fighters which is a credit to their music. I have a few of their songs on my Favorites playlist which is only about 120 songs.

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 at the 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 2x:]

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 print

We are not permanent

We're temporary, temporary

Same old story

[Chorus 2x]

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 2x]

[2x]

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?
