Not Faking It

[Verse 1]

Slim Jim was a stool pigeon

On the payroll of the FBI

Reverend Fred 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

[Verse 2]

Keyhole Pete 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

And Jesus Christ was a forgiver

Me, I'm just a rock'n'roll singer

[Chorus]

I'm not fakin' it

Foolin' myself that I'm makin' it

I'm not fakin' it

I'm not fakin' it

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

I'm not fakin' it

Foolin' myself that I'm makin' it

I'm not fakin' it

I'm not fakin' it

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

Slim Jim was a stool pigeon

On the payroll of the FBI

Reverend Fred 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

[Chorus]

I'm not fakin' it

Foolin' myself that I'm makin' it

I'm not fakin' it

I'm not fakin' it

[Outro]

Fakin' it

Not fakin' it

[Repeat to fade]
