Lyrics

See him walking down the street
All full of swagger
He's got the world at his feet
He's all the matters
It came so easy
Since he was born
The son of privilege
And beyond scorn...

I'm just a pretender
In his world
And he can never see me
I'm no more than just
A lowly bird...

See him takes just what he wants
By simply grabbing
Dominating with his taunts
And constant bragging
It's been so easy
To fool them all
Into believing
He's divinely called...

He's the great contender
I'm just a pretender
In his world
He can never see me
I'm no more than just
A lowly bird...

He's the great pretender
He's the great pretender
He's the great pretender...
He's the great pretender
He's the great pretender
He's the great pretender...

See him walking up that hill
All cloak and dagger
He's not prepared for his defeat
The truth it matters
It won't be easy
But he must fall
The tides are turning
We hear the call...

He's the great pretender
We will not surrender
To his world
He may never see us
Time will give him just what he deserves...

He's the great pretender
He's the great pretender
He's the great pretender...
He's the great pretender
He's the great pretender
He's the great pretender...
