So the story goes that you Sold your soul for delusions of beauty and courage While young at heart is a nice place to start Can the truth hold all this baggage So tell all you foes Because my friends know That your white flag ain't no sign for surrender And those books that you've read have gone straight to your head And made you the great pretender I've heard that it's good to think before you speak Though I've heard that it's good to bathe once a week
So tell me how it feels it if even seems real To be the darling of the underground press Baby please can I see some ID I don't believe you come from a royal family I've heard that it's good to think before you speak Though I've heard that it's good to bathe yourself once a week Oh I've heard that it's good to look before you cross No one, no one will ever find you if you don't get yourself lost
