One of the more upbeat songs on the album, Alec directly refers to the “pompous fools”, likely government officials who make empty statements, and wishes this will come to an end soon.
The title of the song, “Hipocrite”, is misspelled on purpose to be a play on the first line, “It’s hip to be a hipo...
[Verse 1]
It's hip to be a hypocrite, well, that's how it seems
Sayin' and portrayin' things you don't really mean
All talk, no walk
You can be a winner with no skin in the game
You can be a sinner long as you say you've changed
Your talk, your walk
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, if that's the game we're playin'
Then I'm prayin' we don't play it for long
Yeah, if that's the game we're playin'
Then I'm prayin' we don't play it for long
[Chorus]
All these pompous fools
With their broken rules
And their noses in the air
Keep pretendin' that they care
All these stubborn mules
Went to fancy schools
But the only thing they learned to do is talk
[Verse 2]
It's hip to be a hypocrite, well, that's how it goes
Sayin' and portrayin' things, but only for show
They talk, throw rocks
Livin' in a mansion that they made out of glass
Always throwin' tantrums, always gettin' a pass
All talk, they don't stop
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, if that's the game we're playin'
Then I'm prayin' we don't play it for long
Yeah, if that's the game we're playin'
Then I'm prayin' we don't play it for long
[Chorus]
All these pompous fools
With their broken rules
And their noses in the air
Keep pretendin' that they care
All these stubborn mules
Went to fancy schools
But the only thing they learned to do is talk
[Post-Chorus]
All they do is talk
All they do is talk
All they do is talk
All they ever do is talk
All they do is talk
All they do is talk
All they do is talk
All they ever do is talk
[Chorus]
All these pompous fools
With their broken rules
And their noses in the air
Keep pretendin' that they care
All these stubborn mules
Went to fancy schools
But the only thing they learned to do is talk
[Outro]
Well, if that's the game we're playin'
Then I'm prayin' we don't play it for long
Yeah, if that's the game we're playin'
Then I'm prayin' we don't play it for long
