We are all Charlatans Lyrics

If your daddy was a postman

Would ye folly in his footsteps

If your mother was a housewife

Should ye folly in her footsteps

If your life was in a book

Will you read or start writing

Let it come or let it go

You can do what you want to

If the farms in your family

Will you folly in those footsteps

If your names on the shop front

Should you folly in those footsteps

Your path was not walked on by anyone,

You can make it up as you go along,

Burning up plans

You can be a Charlatan

Don't worry,

We are all Charlatans,

We write our own stories

If they put two hands in the fire

Would ye folly in their footsteps

If the truth proved them a liar

Should ye folly in their footsteps

A wise friend did say

Every spirit is worth mixing

You were never born anything

So don't feel like something's missing

Your path was not walked on by anyone

You can make this up as you go along

Burning your plans

So if you feel like a Charlatan

Don't worry,

We are all Charlatans

We write our own stories

Like a Pigeon in her own hole

We look down on the ground,

It's never going to be a straight road,

Always bends to be found…

Your path was not walked on by anyone

And you CAN make it up as you go along

Burning your plans

And if you feel like a Charlatan

Don't worry

We are all charlatans

We write our own stories
