Imposter |
You never lived in the streets |
Though you wish you had |
Not enough talent to play a guitar |
You failed as an artist 'cause you lacked the confidence |
Now you’re a critic and you’re at the top |
(The top of what?) |
You don’t believe what you write |
You’re an imposter; |
you don’t, don’t, don’t |
Believe what you write |
You can’t get used to the fact that you ain’t a kid |
You like to think that you speak for them all |
You’d cut off your nose if you thought it |
Would make you hip |
It drives you crazy you can’t be a star |
(Oh, ain’t that tough!) |
You don’t believe what you write |
(You're an imposter), you don’t believe what you write |
(You're an imposter), you don’t believe what you write |
(You're an imposter), you don’t, don’t, don’t |
Believe what you write |
You take the credit while others do all the work |
You like to think you discovered them first |
But we all know you moved in after it was safe |
That way, you could never get hurt |
(You like to play God!) |
You don’t believe what you write |
(You're an imposter), you don’t believe what you write |
(You're an imposter), you don’t believe what you write |
(You're an imposter), you don’t, don’t, don’t |
Believe what you write |
You’re just a critic; |
we know why you drink so much |
Jealousy slowly consuming your gut |
The streets that you never knew are just |
Where they’ve always been |
Your head is firmly lodged way up your butt |
(Where it belongs) |
