Devin Townsend Fake Punk Lyrics

Fake Punk Lyrics

This here's a song about the things you don't find in nature 



This here's a tale about conditions of the head 



At one time I wanted to expand my education but 



Now I'll make more money if I dye my hair instead. 







'Cause I've gotta be more punk, and forget about writing love songs 



And even though I'm a middle class white Canadian 



God knows I've been done wrong 



'Cause I'm a fake punk! I'm a fake punk! 



I'll even use a dirty word, I'll even write a mean song, 



I'll even take a mean picture 



'Cause I've got the hair for it! 







I've always tried to dig myself out of the sewer 



I've always strived to be a little bit more well-read 



But oh no! Here comes that rock press interviewer so, 



I'll just look real tough and say fuck a lot instead 







I'd be alright if I could just hang out with my girlfriend 



I'd be just fine if they would close down all the bars 



And maybe one day I'll join a protest against smoking 



But when it comes to sincere angst you can just 



Leave me the fuck alone!
