Lyrics Contender - The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

Contender

Look what you’ve done, look what you’ve done, what do you have now?
Fears that never come
Another year in the dirty room
Is it time to come down?
At the back of a crowded scene
You saw the boys in white sing
«I'm a pretender.»
But you never were, you never were
A contender
I heard your same old tune
Singing city sins
Like you were the first one
You gave up books for film
You gave up film for time
Now that you have none
At the back of a crowded scene
You saw the boys in white sing
«I'm a pretender.»
But you never were, you never were
A contender
