Alone Pretenders

[Intro]
Let's just hit right in on that. On the one...

[Verse 1]
What am I gonna do today?
Walk to the newsstand
Check out the war zone
Check the listings to see what's good on
Oh there's one I've been wanting to see
Anyone here up for a movie? I am

[Chorus]
Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say, "You're doing it wrong"
I'm at my best, I'm where I belong: alone
Yeah, I like it

[Verse 2]
Now I'm out crawling the streets
With the poets and the Greeks and the deadbeats
I'm taking my time sitting on park benches
And all the glamour, it all starts down here
This is where the trends begin
Life's a canvas, and I'm on it
