Unmasking Pretense: Challenging the Illusion of Rock 'n' Roll
Lyrics
I don't like you much and well I never did
I have never liked you and still don't.
Cause you, theres somethin bout ya what is it? Oh, you're full of shit.
You exhibit a quality that I find repulsive, and it seems insincere.
Yeah you know all bout fashion and you sure do know what's cool
You are knowledgeable about fashion and what's considered cool.
We got somethin up our sleeve and its just for you
We have a plan or something special, and it's directed at you.
You think you're rock n roll
You believe you embody the spirit of rock and roll.
But you're a joke you're a wannabe baby
You are a mockery, pretending to be a rockstar.
I watch ya from the crowd as you fake it
I observe you from the audience while you pretend.
Now watch us from the ground as we make it
Now watch us succeed while you remain on the ground.
Oh, do you remember that time when you said to me?
Recalling a time when you suggested I stay in the background.
That I should just stay in the background where I was meant to be
Despite your advice, people are now appreciating me.
But now somehow they're lining up for little old me
Contrastingly, I am gaining recognition.
While you're standing in your mirror sayin, how could it be?
You, on the other hand, question your lack of success in front of the mirror.
How could it be? I'll tell ya how
Explaining how your success is questionable.
Maybe cause all you did was go fucking shopping
Your achievements seem limited to shopping.
So you might look the part
You may appear the part but lack substance.
And you might have everybody tricked
You deceive everyone, but we're tired of it.
But we're fucking sick of it
We are fed up with your insincerity.
I can see right through it
Seeing through your facade.
We can all fucking see it
Others can also see through your pretense.
And we can smell ya from here you fuck
Your fakeness is apparent, even from a distance.
You think you're Robert Plant
You believe you embody Robert Plant's essence.
But you're a joke you're a wannabe baby
Similar to before, you are a joke and an imitator.
I watch ya from the crowd as you fake it
I witness your fake performance from the audience.
Now watch us from the ground as we make it
We succeed while you remain unsuccessful.
You think you're Jimmy Page
You think you're like Jimmy Page.
But you're a joke you're a wannabe baby
Again, you're a joke and an imitator.
Hold me to the ground and ill make it
If you try to hold me down, I'll succeed.
Hold ya to the ground and you'll fake it
If I hold you down, you'll pretend and fail.
Now we think it's time you stepped aside and made some room
It's time for you to step aside and make space.
Cause I been needin something real, gimme something true
I am looking for authenticity and real experiences.
I think it's pretty clear we ain't gettin none of that from you
You don't provide what we need.
So step aside and make some fuckin room
Get out of the way and let something genuine happen.
You think you're rock n roll
You believe you embody rock and roll.
But you're a joke you're a wannabe baby
You're still a fake, a wannabe.
I watch ya from the crowd as you fake it
I observe your pretense from the audience.
Now watch us from the ground as we make it
Now watch us succeed while you remain on the ground.
You think you're Robert Plant
Similar to before, you think you're like Robert Plant.
But you're a joke you're a wannabe baby
You're still a joke and an imitator.
Hold me to the ground and ill make it
If I hold you down, you'll pretend and fail.
Hold ya to the ground and you'll fake it
If you hold me down, I'll succeed.
