Not Fakin It

Jolly ollie was a stool pigeon
On the payroll of the f.b.i.
Reverend jim sold instant religion
With a license from the man in the sky
Billy the kid was a gunslinger
Edgar wallace was a dead ringer
Me i’m just a rock ‘n’ roll singer

Keyhole john was a bird watcher
Had a telephoto lens in each eye
Jack the ripper was a cool stalker
But his birds no longer fly
James joyce was a mudslinger
Jesus christ was a forgiver
Me i’m just a rock ‘n’ roll singer

I’m not fakin it
Foolin myself that i’m makin it
I’m not fakin it

Tricky dicky was a fast talker
But his promises were always a lie
Nostradamus was a doom watcher
Predicted when we’re gonna die
Cleopatra was a love giver
Jesse james was a born killer
Me i’m just a rock ‘n’ roll singer

I’m not fakin it
Foolin myself that i’m makin it
I’m not fakin it
