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
