Not Fakin’ It Songtext
von Michael Monroe
Not Fakin’ It Songtext
Jolly Ollie was a stool pigeon
On the payroll of the F.B.I.
Reverend Jim sold instant religion
With a license from the man in the sky
Billy the Kid was a gunslinger
Edgar Wallace was a dead ringer
Me I′m just a rock 'n′ roll singer
Keyhold John was a bird watcher
Had a telephoto lens in each eye
Jack the Ripper was a cool stalker
But his birds no longer fly
James Joyce was a mudslinger
Jesus Christ was a forgiver
Me I'm just a rock 'n′ roll singer I′m not fakin' it
Foolin′ myself that I'm makin′ it
I'm not fakin′ it
Tricky Dicky was a fast talker
But his promises were always a lie
Nostradamus was a doom watcher
Predicted when we're gonna die
Cleopatra was a love giver
Jesse James was a born killer
Me I'm just a rock′n′roll singer
I'm not fakin′ it
Foolin' myself that I′m makin' it
I′m not fakin' it
On the payroll of the F.B.I.
Reverend Jim sold instant religion
With a license from the man in the sky
Billy the Kid was a gunslinger
Edgar Wallace was a dead ringer
Me I′m just a rock 'n′ roll singer
Keyhold John was a bird watcher
Had a telephoto lens in each eye
Jack the Ripper was a cool stalker
But his birds no longer fly
James Joyce was a mudslinger
Jesus Christ was a forgiver
Me I'm just a rock 'n′ roll singer I′m not fakin' it
Foolin′ myself that I'm makin′ it
I'm not fakin′ it
Tricky Dicky was a fast talker
But his promises were always a lie
Nostradamus was a doom watcher
Predicted when we're gonna die
Cleopatra was a love giver
Jesse James was a born killer
Me I'm just a rock′n′roll singer
I'm not fakin′ it
Foolin' myself that I′m makin' it
I′m not fakin' it
