| Failures and fakes and those who don’t get their way
|
| All seem to have excuses for how they think
|
| Justified, dignified, they all pledge their innocence
|
| And I would know because, because I’m one of them
|
| It’s through expression that we make our understanding
|
| Are we who we are if it’s who we appear to be?
|
| Let me tell you friends, I’ve found out the hard way
|
| Imitations don’t produce originality
|
| Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t think I’ve escaped
|
| I’m just as guilty
|
| Because we’re all failures and fakes
|
| And if you won’t believe it
|
| Well then I’ve seen your future
|
| It’s not that impressive
|
| Excuses, excuses we got 'em all, they’re weighing us down
|
| We all got faults, we all got faults
|
| But no one seems to be blaming themselves
|
| Friends, I’ve found out the hard way
|
| Hypocrisy runs free when you talk as if you’re blameless
|
| Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t think I’ve escaped
|
| I’m just as guilty
|
| We’re all failures and fakes
|
| And if you won’t believe it
|
| Well then I’ve seen your future
|
| It’s not that impressive
|
| But if you’re not willing to be reasonable then I’ll be leaving
|
| Because there’s no use in trying to change the proud or heal the ungrateful
|
| Heal, heal the ungrateful
|
| But you know better than I do
|
| That your walls are falling down, and there’s no way for you to stop it
|
| This is no one’s fault but your own (hey, hey, hey, hey)
|
| So stop running (hey, hey, hey, hey) from your problems
|
| Because they won’t fix themselves
|
| We’re all broken
|
| We’re all so broken
|
| It takes a man to acknowledge his weakness
|
| We’re broken
|
| We’re all so broken
|
| It takes a man to acknowledge his weakness
|
| There may only be a speck in your eye
|
| But denial’s gonna keep it there, keep it there
|
| Yes I know there’s a plank in my eye, but I’m willing
|
| Willing to admit it
|
| You got no trouble finding sin in my eyes
|
| But all that changes when it seems like it’s your neck on the line |
