The Great Pretender
Avatar Lyrics

Time to thrill, there's time to kill
It's time to have fun and do something exciting, even if it means getting into trouble.

'Til your mom's gone away
We have to wait until your mom leaves to do what we want, since she doesn't approve.

She don't want us to play
Your mom does not want us to engage in fun activities, which is why we have to wait until she's gone.

Get your cuffs, we'll be cops
Let's pretend we are police officers and act out a scenario using handcuffs.

I'll be good, you have been bad
I'll pretend to be a good cop, while you are the criminal that needs to be arrested.

You're the best that I've had
You are the best pretend criminal I've ever arrested in our game of cops and robbers.

Naughty girls and naughty boys
Children who misbehave or break rules tend to create the most excitement and engage in fun activities.

Made the best of noise
Their mischief and trouble-making tends to create lively and exciting situations.

They are best as toys
Children who act out tend to be the most entertaining to play with, like toys.

They enjoy, and they destroy
They find pleasure in breaking rules and destroying things, usually leading to trouble.

Everything they cross and they are coming for us
They will engage in mischief and target us, so we have to be prepared for that.

Let them come
We are not afraid of the consequences of our imaginary game - we are ready for anything.

Oh let them take us down, so I can be someone
We are ready for the challenge of being caught in our game, as it will make us feel like we are actually someone important.

You will remember
This game and the thrill we felt will be unforgettable.

The nights are, the days are black
Life may feel dark and gloomy, but our game helps us escape reality and create excitement.

But we are not alone, we are a part of the show
While it may seem like we are just playing pretend, we are actually actively engaging in something exciting and entertaining.

They like to watch, they like to touch
Others tend to find enjoyment in observing our game and may want to participate or interact with us in it.

Tickle private parts, they are my work of art
In our game of pretending, even tickling private parts is not off-limits and can be seen as a form of expression and creativity.

Always broke, and in debt
We may be pretending to be police officers, but in reality, we are just children without any real money or responsibilities.

Never miss anything I can steal
Even in our pretend game, stealing can be a fun and thrilling act that adds to the excitement.

Wet and soaked, a living dead
Even if we get wet and uncomfortable in our game, we are still alive and enjoying the experience.

Scratch a wound that I don't want to heal
Even if we get hurt while playing our game, we are willing to keep going and ignore any pain to keep the excitement and thrill alive.

Let them come, oh let them take us down
We are ready for any consequences and are actively seeking them out to continue our game and feel like we are doing something important.

So I can be someone
By playing pretend and experiencing the thrill of being caught, we can feel like we are important and stand out from others, even if just for a brief moment.

The Great Pretender
We take pride in our ability to pretend and create exciting scenarios and experiences for ourselves, and want to be known as skilled pretend-players, or the Great Pretender.
