“Fake ID” tells the story of an inebriated encounter with a mugger after being rejected for trying to use a friend’s ID at a bar.
Originally released as a single in 2015, “Fake ID” was later included on Rat Boy’s 2017 debut album Scum
[Verse 1]
I tried getting past the bouncer, but I couldn't get through
He said 'Hold it there mate, well this isn't you'
'It's not a fake ID, it's just not mine'
'Well, I'm taking this off you son - identity theft, that's a crime'
So I'm standing on the street, got no one else to meet

Hated GCSEs, was shit at PE
Us against them, just you and me
Now they've got pig fat injected to their six pack
What's up with that? They look a right twat
[Hook](x2)

Rat Boy told Clash Magazine:
I made [Fake ID] back in 2014. I was writing loads of stories from back in Chelmsford. I used to ride my bike home from Wetherspoons after doing the night shift. I’d get heckled a lot riding home from work and I could just imagine getting mugged on a Saturday night, as...
