Keep you in the dark What if I say that I will never surrender? What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender You know they all pretend Songwriters: David Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Christopher Shiflett What if I say you're not like the others? I'm finished making sense (Keep you in the dark) What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say that I'll never surrender? (Keep you in the dark) Boy, the wheel is spinning me You're the pretender You're the pretender We're temporary, temporary You're the pretender (You know they all pretend) Done pleading ignorance What if I say that I'll never surrender? You're the pretender What if I say I'm not like the others? You're the pretender Keep you in the dark, you know they all pretend The secrets that you keep are ever ready That whole defense And so it all began What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? Spinning infinity What if I say I'm not like the others? I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees In time or so I'm told Same old story Are you ready? So who are you? Yeah, who are you? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear I'm the face that you have to face, mirrorin' your stare It's never ending, never ending What if I say I'm not like the others? They need you buried deep I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not like the others? Sing as their bones go marching in again What if I say I will never surrender? You're the pretender Same old story The page is out of print, we are not permanent What if I say I will never surrender? Send in your skeletons What if I say I'm not like the others? Keep you in the dark What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say I will never surrender? (You know they all pretend) I'm just another soul for sale, oh well Yeah, who are you? What if I say I will never surrender? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? Publishers: FLYING EARFORM MUSIC, I LOVE THE PUNK ROCK MUSIC, LIVING UNDER A ROCK MUSIC, M.J.

Romantic lyrics? Seriously? Defiant lyrics, sure, political lyrics, probably, but romantic?

I first heard this song when my teacher played it for us for a school project example. I thought it was good. It totally fits me too! What if I say I'm not like the others?

Romantic lyrics????? Wow what a mistake. Oh I know it's a love song to George Bush!!! That's it for sure.... Yahhhh right...
|
||
Oh how I love this song...and I love it even more that they just added it to Rock Band ;P
|

Felipe.mende z , I agree with ya, but only if it's the same video that I think you're talkin' about. Is it that 1 where they've got what looks like a giant black speaker behind them, along with a long line of SWAT teams in front of them at the middle?

I don't think it sounds like stairway to heaven... I just question how this song is about G W Bush??? He said that in an interview... If i wrote a song about W Bush it would have every insult that exists.
|
||
the seamstress: YOURE the a**hole cuz youve never heard stairway to heaven.... wow.
|
||
See, this song was cool but after hearing it 100 times on the radio it just get's drained :(+<
|

Jay Porks, as long as Foo Fighters mentions the opening riff thing and it's similarity to Stairway To Heaven's, you're just being an a**hole. P.S. I don't even know if you're right. I've never listened to Stairway To Heaven. Now go push up stinkweeds.

Dave Grohl = The only talent Nirvana had + extremely talented musician who has come into his own.
Bet he goes into the R&R HoF as both a member of Nirvana and on his own. |
||
how can you say this song sucks! sure, its not their best, but i still like it...
|
||
THIS SONG SUCKS. Whenever I make a rock station, this boring song comes on
|
||
The Foo Fighters Rock altogether, not just this song. Although this song is AMAZING. Also, star topology, it is easy to fall asleep to this song.
|

Romantic? Have you seen the video? It involves the riot police. That is awesome within itself, it is the statement of dissatisfact i o n with politics or whatever you interpret it to mean, but not romance.
|
||
Sa-weet.
However, how does this song have romantic lyrics? Maybe I just haven't listened to it in a while. |
