I'm not pretending so don't ask why
Your time is coming and that's no lie
You're the exception that proves the rule
From where I'm standing you're nobody's fool I've been a bad boy so do what you please
Talking of pleasure speak in Japanese
There's no good or evil only different degrees
Hope springs eternal when you're down on your knees You read the papers I watch TV
I'm tired of living in history
You've had your pleasure now here comes the pain
As sure as sunshine follows the rain Under my direction let me see you blaspheme
Looking for a traitor if you know what I mean
Overnight sensations just fade away
Nothing lasts forever I don't care what you say
