Pretend - I Fight Dragons

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 going down in flames

Now I don’t want to 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 going down in flames

Now I don’t want to 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 going down in flames

Now I don’t want to be the one who doesn’t live to see the end

So I just smile and pretend…
