A Century Of Fakers Lyrics

The song A Century Of Fakers is performed by Belle & Sebastian in the album named Push Barman to Open Old Wounds in the year 2005 .



There are people going hungry far away
They've got nothing on their plates
And you're filling your fat face with every different kind of cake
If you ever go lardy, or go lame
I will drop you straight away
That's the chance your gonna take
With every foolish thing you say

There are people going lonely, and they'll stay
Lonely far into the year
Because you're making blinkers fashionable
And fashionably you'll say
"All is equal in love and war" and
"I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do"
And you pretend to read a book you'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 wasn't good enough

Did I say I would see you soon?
I'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 I'd say
You look great from there before you shaved your golden hair today

Everybody's trying to make us
Another century of fakers
They took your mould and burned it on the fire of history today
Everybody's trying to make us
Another cool decade of fakers
Another century of fakers

Everybody's trying to make us
Another century of fakers
