Pretenders

Lyrics

[Verse 1: MonochroMenace & Kasane Teto] You're all wonderful performers I don't mean any offense But I (But I) can tell you've cut some corners You've made them think they're your friends Is it wrong to idolize? Not quite But tell me, what's the point of life with no spotlight? Is it alright? Sorry, but the truth is overdue You wished me well, but didn't want me to come back soon Guess it's time for my debut [Chorus: MonochroMenace & Kasane Teto] Please don't buy me tickets to your show 'Cause I don't remember saying I wanted to go And if you talked to me for even a second Then maybe you would know I'm not a fan of the cliché Where everybody's fighting to be center stage And you'll all never know where you're lacking 'Cause a good actor knows that they're acting [Verse 2: MonochroMenace & Kasane Teto] Paint me (Paint me) in your mental image Pick out the colors you like I don't (I don't) need to be forgiven I'll go down without a fight I don't owe you any piece of mind You don't get to villainize and justify It's not showtime I don't mind if I play the bad guy So don't waste your efforts killing my vibe You can try, but save the dramatics I know your tactics [Chorus: MonochroMenace & Kasane Teto] Please don't buy me tickets to your show 'Cause I don't remember saying I wanted to go And if you talked to me for even a second Then maybe you would know I'm not a fan of the cliché Where everybody's fighting to be center stage And you'll all never know where you're lacking 'Cause a good actor knows that they're acting [Bridge: Kasane Teto] Before you step onto the ballroom floor Please check your ego at the door Before you step onto the ballroom floor Please check your ego at the door [Chorus: MonochroMenace & Kasane Teto] Please don't buy me tickets to your show 'Cause I don't remember saying I wanted to go And if you talked to me for even a second Then maybe you would know I'm not a fan of the cliché Where everybody's fighting to be center stage And you'll all never know where you're lacking 'Cause a good actor knows that they're acting Please don't buy me tickets to your show 'Cause I don't remember saying I wanted to go And if you talked to me for even a second Then maybe you would know (Maybe you would know) I'm not a fan of the cliché Where everybody's fighting to be center stage And you'll all never know where you're lacking 'Cause a good actor knows that they're acting
