False Pretense Lyrics
(It's time to let it go)
The world's got a funny way of turning round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped and knew
Don't sweat it; set off false pretense
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
'Cause you know
It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
All alone you know you've thought, you've got the best of me
You were wrong, and I'm laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you blamed; you were my family
Don't sweat it; set off false pretense
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
'Cause you know
It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
(Guitar)
(It's time to let it go)
I can't seem to understand it, how you've turned out to be so cold
You tried but were caught red handed, are you happy with your role?
It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke
It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
So play the game until you run out
And play the game into my hand
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped and knew
Don't sweat it; set off false pretense
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
'Cause you know
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
You were wrong, and I'm laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you blamed; you were my family
Don't sweat it; set off false pretense
Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
'Cause you know
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
You tried but were caught red handed, are you happy with your role?
It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
And play the game into my hand

I can't believe no one has commented on this song. It's one of my favorite songs off the whole God damn album.
I think it's mostly about finding out that someone is fake.
"I can't seem to understand it how you've turned out to be so cold You tried but were caught red handed, are you happy with your role? It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke" That line is funny because it's probably about him finding out how fake someone is fake, and now they're just a joke.
Ronnie Winter is a lyrical genius.
This also one of my favorite songs from this band.They are one of my favorites.I agree with Razel he or she could be right.I also think that not everyone could be trusted,and somtimes you cant always get what you want.Wether you like it or not thinks might just turn on you.
yer.. self explenatory song...
he had a friend...he trusted him/her so much but who 1 day betrayed him
fantastic song. You guys have pretty much summed it up. I think everyone can identify with this song. Everyone has had someone turn on them in their life. This is one amazing band
Heh.. yeah, I agree with Razel.
There's fake people out there, and there's liars. Ewe@them!
^^;;; When I said Ewe@them. I meant the fakers and liars. Wanted to clear that up. heh.
Man, this hits home, cause it's happened three times to me. The lyrics are very self-explanitory, I think anyway. Ronnie Winter is just, wow when it comes to lyrics, seriously, they have so much meaning and depth, I love this band.
i agree with Razel, but i also think it could be about someone's friend stabbing them in the back:
"The world's got a funny way of turning round on you When a friend tries to stab you right in the face Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped and knew Don't sweat it, set off false pretense"
or similar to that, someone cheating on someone and being caught:
"I can't seem to understand it how you've turned out to be so cold You tried but were caught red handed, are you happy with your role? It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke"
whatever it is, i like this song. RJA is my favorite band right now. i love them. oh, yes, indeed.♥
betrayal....Thats it.
lyrical genius is a fucking understatement. i love him. i love what his songs stand for. and i love how in one way or another you can relate.
"its funny to me how youve turned into such a joke" i thought it said drug for ageeees.
haa:] AMAZING SONG.
WKR. who killed ronnie?
