Belle & Sebastian — A Century of Fakers lyrics

Lyrics

There are people going hungry every day
TheyЂ™ve got nothing on their plates
And youЂ™re filling your fat face with every different kind of cake
And if you ever go lardy, or go lame
I will drop you straight away
ThatЂ™s the price you have to pay
For every stupid thing you say
There are people going lonely, and theyЂ™ll stay
Lonely fay into the year
Because youЂ™re making blinkers fashionable
And fashionably youЂ™ll say
All is equal in love and war and
IЂ™m sorry, but IЂ™ve got some things to do And you pretend to read a book youЂ™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 wasnЂ™t good enough
Did I say I would see you soon?
Well IЂ™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 IЂ™d say
That you look great from there before you shaved your golden hair today
EverybodyЂ™s trying to make us Another century of fakers
They took you mould and burned it on the fire of history today
EverybodyЂ™s trying to make us Another cool decade of fakers
Another century of fakers
