Fake and You Know It

[Verse 1]
Takes one to know one
Not always, but often enough
Sometimes when you've seen the pattern before
But often when you're just jealous
'Cause if your secret ever gets out
You can't pull that crap anymore
So you gotta snuff out anyone
Who ever gets too close to that closet door

[Pre-Chorus]
But it wasn't designed for skeletons
And there's already one that you live in
And you can live in both if you want
But don't call bullshit if you ever see that again, or get caught

[Chorus]
And you're a fake and we all know it
We'll give a chance just to watch you blow it
We laid a trap but we don't notice
The irony or hypocrisy
That we only found you fake
Doing the exact same things
We were doing the exact same things
And that's bad, so you're bad, and we're (fine)

[Verse 2]
Things weren't better way back when
But honestly? Some stuff was
TV and Radio could be surprising
And once upon a time we decriminalized love
And soon love might become a thought crime
I'm sick of living Orwell's books
And everytime I say it's fucked, everytime I bring it up
I'm getting sick of all these dirty looks

[Pre-Chorus]
I mean, what the actual fuck?
Wasn't being alive hard enough?
You did not let them d-do this
But they got to do this by lying to all of us

[Chorus]
And that means they're fake and we all know it
They gave a chance just to watch me blow it
They laid a trap but they don't notice
The irony or hypocrisy
That they only found me fake
Doing the exact same things
Yeah, they were doing the exact same things
And that's bad, and we're bad, and I'm... I'm, I'm never gonna make sense of this (fine)

[Bridge]
Dear listener, and whoever else
You only belong to yourself
There's a reason that you're here, when you find out what it is
Please hold it dear, me?
When I find out, I'll tell you in a song
And I'll pack it up in a blog
Life has always been such a fuckin slog
Why I should give up now is just not clear

[Pre-Chorus]
So if you have an axe to grind
But it never made sense, it's time to relent
Fifteen years ago, I wondered why those types of folks weren't already dead

[Chorus]
They're fake and we all know it
They give a chance just to watch you blow it
They lay a trap but we don't notice
The irony or hypocrisy
That we only found you fake
Doing the exact same things
Yeah, doing the exact same things
And that's bad, and we're bad

And we're fake and we all know it
We give a chance just to watch us blow it
We'll lay a trap but we don't notice
The irony or hypocrisy
That we only found us fake
Doing the exact same things
Yeah, we're all doing the exact same things
So that's bad, and we're bad, and we're fine I guess? What the fuck
