Fake as Fu@k
Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

Listening to the great beyond
Engaging with something beyond ordinary perception

Where misdirection waves its magic wand
Manipulation and deception create illusions

Everybody sing that song
Everyone is caught up in the same narrative

Tuesday morning comes along
A new day begins

I read the news, it's all gone wrong
The information highlights negative events

The facts of life have left too soon
Reality has become distorted and fleeting

Serving up doom and gloom
Presenting an atmosphere of negativity

Never gonna leave my room
Choosing isolation over facing the outside world

Black Capricorn will blow the horn
Symbolizing the impossibility of new love

For all the love that can't be born today
Acknowledging the absence of genuine love in the present

Everybody walk away
Desire to distance oneself from the current state

Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
Creating a situation for failure or disappointment

And take me to your leader where the make up Is fake as fuck
Desire for guidance from someone who pretends to be genuine

Strap it on in to map it on out
Preparing for a deceptive journey or plan

Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up Just out of luck
People who manipulate information aim to deceive and leave you helpless

Friday afternoon is cool
Relaxing at the end of the week

I lost my faith in Sunday school
Doubting the teachings of organized religion

Deliver me from Liverpool
Seeking liberation from a specific place or situation

I feel just like an April fool
Feeling foolish or gullible

Someone's gotta break the rule
A need for someone to challenge the norms or expectations

Sticking to the script
Adhering to a predetermined narrative

We built another sinking ship
Creating something destined for failure

She's so alone
Feeling isolated and disconnected

Never gonna leave my home
Choosing comfort and familiarity over exploration

Mother nature can't go wrong
The natural world is reliable and dependable

The science God's forever strong
The power of scientific understanding is enduring

A-floating in the great beyond
Existing in the realm of the unknown

And everybody sing along
Joining together in a shared experience

Set 'em on up to knock 'em all down
Creating a situation for failure or disappointment

Because you're here
Acknowledging the presence of someone special

And take me to your leader where the make up Is fake as fuck
Desire for guidance from someone who pretends to be genuine

Strap it on in to map it on out
Preparing for a deceptive journey or plan

Spin doctors wanna make you think you're straight up Just out of luck
People who manipulate information aim to deceive and leave you helpless

I'm a lonely, lonely lord
Feeling isolated and detached from others

Searchin' all night for the wrong reward
Seeking fulfillment in the wrong places or activities

An appetite that's running on all fours
An insatiable desire or craving

Misdirection waves its wand
Deception and diversion are prevalent

Turning my head from black to blonde
Changing one's perspective or beliefs drastically

Like a queen will now become the pawn
Losing power or influence in a situation

Busted on a ship gone, take me home
Feeling lost and longing for familiarity

Mother named faith, made lightning comes
The strength of faith and belief can bring sudden change

Busted on a ship that's sailing through the foam
Feeling trapped or lost in a treacherous situation

I'm a lonely, lonely lord
Feeling isolated and detached from others

Pick another day to be restored
Choosing a different day for renewal or rejuvenation

Just another fate that's going overboard
Another predetermined outcome that is bound to fail
