[Pre-Chorus]
Good God, you're coming up with reasons
Good God, you're dragging it out
And good God, it's the changing of the seasons
I feel so raped, so follow me down and just
[Chorus]
Fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like infection
Whoa, you're such a fucking hypocrite

I can fake with the best of anyone

[Pre-Chorus]
Good God, you're coming up with reasons
Good God, you're dragging it out
And good God, it's the changing of the seasons
I feel so raped, man, follow me down and just
[Chorus]
Fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like infection
Whoa, you're such a fucking hypocrite
[Chorus]
Fake it if you're out of direction
Fake it if you don't belong here
Fake it if you feel like infection
Whoa, you're such a fucking hypocrite
