I'm going to rent myself a house in the shade of the freeway I'm going to pack my lunch
in the morning and go to work each day And when the evening rolls around I'll go on
home and lay my body down And when the morning light comes streaming in I'll get up
and do it again, amen Say it again, amen I want to know what became of the changes
in the morning and go to work each day And when the evening rolls around I'll go on
home and lay my body down And when the morning light comes streaming in I'll get up
and do it again, amen Say it again, amen I want to know what became of the changes
We waited for love to bring Were they only the fitful dreams of some greater
awakening I've been aware of the time going by They say in the end it's the wink
of an eye And when the morning light comes streaming in You'll get up and do it again,
of an eye And when the morning light comes streaming in You'll get up and do it again,
Caught between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal tender
where the sirens sing and the church bells ring and the junk man pounds
his fender Where the veterans dream of the fight Fast asleep at the traffic light
And the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor Out into the cool of
the evening strolls the pretender He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin
and end there
Ah the laughter of the lovers As they run through the night Leaving nothing for
the others But to choose off and fight And tear at the world with all their might
While the ships bearing their dreams sail out of sight I'm going to find myself a girl
Who can show me what laughter means And we'll fill in the missing colors in
each other's paint-by-number dreams And then we'll put out dark glasses on
each other's paint-by-number dreams And then we'll put out dark glasses on
And we'll make love until our strength is gone And when the morning light comes
streaming in we'll get up and do it again
streaming in we'll get up and do it again
Get it up again I'm going to be a happy idiot And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim And lay their claim to the heart and the soul of the
spender And believe in whatever may lie in those things that money can buy
Though true love could have been a contender Are you there
Say a prayer for the pretender who started out so young and strong
only to surrender Say a prayer for the pretender Are you there for the pretender
only to surrender Say a prayer for the pretender Are you there for the pretender
This song is about a man who gives up his dreams and lives a life of routine monotony in order to accumulate money. He is the pretender. (songfacts.com)
