Can You Fake It? Lyrics

Well, I hope you're sleeping

With the boy who dumped you, when you were stoned

Oh, don't you find it creeping

That he still loves you, after all

Now that you're filthy

Rich and famous, you're the doll

Oh, but can you really fake it?

The pleasant life

The girls next door

The backyard chitchat

'Bout wooden floors

A second mortgage

For a brand new ford

Oh, but can you fake it?

When he calls you honey, at the store

While shopping for bullets

For the gun, he so neatly stores

Underneath the mattress

In your bedroom, now you both know

Oh, but can you fake it?

The pleasant life

The girls next door

The backyard chitchat

'Bout wooden floors

A second mortgage

For a brand new ford

The fucked up pre-nup

With a backdoor clause

A teenaged son

That he adores

A perfect weather

Oh, what a bore

Oh, but can you fake it?

Well, I hope you're happy

I wrote these verse, once before

Then you came running

Into my arms, straight from a war

I gave you shelter

But you turned hot, you wanted more

Guess you couldn't fake it

The pleasant life

The girls next door

The backyard chitchat

'bout wooden floors

A second mortgage

For a brand new ford

The fucked up pre-nup

With a backdoor clause

A teenaged son

That I so adore

A perfect weather

Oh, what a bore

A baby doll

You never wore

A ball and chains

Made out of gold

Yea, you couldn't fake it
