Fake Punk — текст песни (Devin Townsend)

This here`s a song about the things you don`t find in nature
This here`s a tale about conditions of the head
At one time I wanted to expand my education but
Now I`ll make more money if I dye my hair instead.

`Cause I`ve gotta be more punk, and forget about writing love songs
And even though I`m a middle class white Canadian
God knows I`ve been done wrong
`Cause I`m a fake punk! I`m a fake punk!
I`ll even use a dirty word, I`ll even write a mean song,
I`ll even take a mean picture
`Cause I`ve got the hair for it!

I`ve always tried to dig myself out of the sewer
I`ve always strived to be a little bit more well-read
But oh no! Here comes that rock press interviewer so,
I`ll just look real tough and say fuck a lot instead

I`d be alright if I could just hang out with my girlfriend
I`d be just fine if they would close down all the bars
And maybe one day I`ll join a protest against smoking
But when it comes to sincere angst you can just
Leave me the fuck alone!
