He came of second best when he first came round here
In a town that's built on money built on fear
Just don't fake life, he's been told a thousand times
You see the wheels that we turn in keep dragging us down
He was amazed to see the fallen here
Tried so very hard to fight the fear
Then when he saw the end and it werent very far
It slipped from his grasp
And he stumbled there in the dark
Just don't fake life you've been told a thousand times
He took a troubled heart and then he gave it out
Took a violent change of circumstance to shout
There can be nobody better to turn things around
Yes there can be nobody better to turn things around
Just don't fake life you've been told a thousand times
