The Great Pretender

Trying hard to convince himself
He’s the best you’ve ever seen
The only one believing it is he
Take a look behind his eyes
You’ll begin to understand
Illusion masks his insecurities
You gotta let him fall
With his back against the wall
He’s a great, the great pretender
(The cardinal sin)
No, he’ll never surrender
(He'll never let you win)
The great, th great pretendr
(Fighting doubts within)
Just sit back enjoy the show
With the great pretender
Trying hard to out fool the world
With his bold chicanery
Deception to the point of being obscene
Oh yeah
Eliminate his mock facade
You begin to realize
Delusion buries inability
You gotta let him fall
When the writing’s on the wall
He’s a great, the great pretender
(The cardinal sin)
No, he’ll never surrender
(He'll never let you win)
The great, the great pretender
(Fighting doubts within)
Just sit back enjoy the show
With the great pretender
He’s a great, the great pretender
(The cardinal sin)
No, he’ll never surrender
(He'll never let you win)
The great, the great pretender
(Fighting doubts within)
Just sit back enjoy the show
With the great pretender
He’s a great, the great pretender
(The cardinal sin)
No, he’ll never surrender
(He'll never let you win)
The great, the great pretender
(Fighting doubts within)
Just sit back enjoy the show
With the great pretender
Come on, roll up, sit back, enjoy the show!
