So the story goes that you
Sold your soul for delusions of beauty and courage
And while young at heart is a nice place to start
Can the truth hold all your baggage, hey?
So tell all your foes because my friends know
That your white flag is no sign of surrender
And all the books that you have read have gone straight to your head
And made you the great pretender
Well, I've heard that it's good to think before you speak
Yes, I've heard that it's good to bathe yourself once a week
Well, that's what they say
So c'mon, tell me how it feels, does it even seem real
To be the darling of the underground press?
Said baby, baby please, can I see your id?
I don't believe you're from a royal family
And I've heard that it's good to think before you speak
Yes, I've heard that it's good to bathe yourself once a week
Yes, I've heard that it's good to look before you cross
And no one, no one, nobody's gonna find you
If you don't get yourself lost, yeah
And I've heard that it's good to think before you speak
Yes, I've heard that it's good, just to bathe yourself once a week
Well, I've heard that it's good to look before you cross
And nobody, no one, nowhere is gonna find you
If you don't get yourself lost, alright
