Pretend

They came at night
No one was watching
And they travel light
Before we knew
They'd taken over
And now they've come
For you
One two
(They're in your room)
Three four
(They're at the store)
Five six
(They got the kids)
Nine ten
(They got your friends)
No one noticed when the world began to change
Til one by one we started goin' down in flames
Now I don't wanna be the one who doesn't live to see the end
So I just smile and pretend
Call them your friends
Call them your saviors
Or your presidents
Call it the truth, but
Spare me your sermons
Until they turn
On you
One Two
(They're on the news)
Three Four
(They're at your door)
Five Six
(They know your tricks)
Nine Ten
(They know your plans)
No one noticed when the world began to change
Til one by one we started goin' down in flames
Now I don't wanna be the one who doesn't live to see the end
So I just smile and pretend
One Two
(They run the schools)
Three Four
(They change the score)
Five Six
(They got the rich)
Nine Ten
(They always win)
No one noticed when the world began to change
Til one by one we started goin' down in flames
Now I don't wanna be the one who doesn't live to see the end
So I just smile and pretend
