If you go out, let me know what you find
You’ll find out it’s hard to keep the rabble behind
You get lost between lines again
Build it up just to knock it down
Hard to roll when they rock the merry-go-round
Response, it goes down & then
You feel it coming but you don’t know when
You take it all based on how it comes
& faking it now, is not so easy
So trained in the art of man
Making it up, play it straight
Make believe, in love with all the things that you hate
First a joke; an aside, as you laugh through a sigh
D’you feel honest when you’re telling lies?
You take it all based on how it comes
You’re faking it now, life is not so easy
So trained in the art of fucking off
That faking it now, it serves no reason
Follow along; you’ll learn where the art begins
Go on, try it then, it’s taking the dive
You’ll get by
If you go out, let me know what you find
Don’t look down & keep the rabble behind
You’ll get along just fine without the lines
Speak no evil, boy, hear no lies
You take it all based on how it goes
& faking it now, life is not so easy
So trained in the art of fucking off
That faking it now is treason
