[Verse 1]
Next phase, next craze, next "nothing new"
Got the pretty boy, beat him up black and blue
Broke the sissy boy's teeny toy heart in two
Turned him into a video kid like you

[Chorus]
I know we're just pretending
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break

[Verse 2]
Shot the pretty boy, killed him on commodore
Need a new game, need a new "something more"
Got a new face, got a new way to score
Got a voice like something I've heard before

[Chorus]
I know we're just pretending
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break

[Bridge]
The message misleading
We're lying, we're cheating
We're only repeating
The motions preceding
[Outro]
I know we're just pretending
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break
