a century of fakers

Belle & Sebastian

There are people going hungry every day
Theyââ?¬â?¢ve got nothing on their plates
And youââ?¬â?¢re filling your fat face with every different kind of cake
And if you ever go lardy, or go lame
I will drop you straight away
Thatââ?¬â?¢s the price you have to pay
For every stupid thing you say

There are people going lonely, and theyââ?¬â?¢ll stay
Lonely fay into the year
Because youââ?¬â?¢re making blinkers fashionable
And fashionably youââ?¬â?¢ll say
All is equal in love and war and
Iââ?¬â?¢m sorry, but Iââ?¬â?¢ve got some things to do
And you pretend to read a book youââ?¬â?¢ll never finish till the day

That the author dedicates it
To a century of fakers
They took your mould and they burned it on the fire in history today
Yeah, the author dedicates it
To a century of fakers
He was an anarchist, he tried his best but it wasnââ?¬â?¢t good enough

Did I say I would see you soon?
Well Iââ?¬â?¢m sorry, but I just came off my bike
And my face is scarred
And chance has barred me seeing you tonight
I was over the other side of the city
And if the truth be known Iââ?¬â?¢d say
That you look great from there before you shaved your golden hair today

Everybodyââ?¬â?¢s trying to make us
Another century of fakers
They took you mould and burned it on the fire of history today
Everybodyââ?¬â?¢s trying to make us
Another cool decade of fakers
Another century of fakers
