"Video Kid" lyrics - THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE

Next phase, next craze, next "nothing new"
Got the pretty boy, beat him up black and blue
Broke the sissy boy's teeny toy heart in two
Turned him into a video kid like you

[Chorus:]
I know we're just pretending
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break

Shot the pretty boy, killed him on commodore
Need a new game, need a new "something more"
Got a new face, got a new way to score
Got a voice like something I've heard before

[Chorus:]
I know we're just pretending
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break

[Bridge:]
The message misleading
We're lying, we're cheating
We're only repeating
The motions preceding

[Outro:]
I know we're just pretending
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break
