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
So waste another day
What’s the point I'm missin

This feelin wont last
Can’t put it in a bottle
Once your Life 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

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

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

Heaven
Heaven
Ain’t no winners in 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
