Not Fakin` It


Slim jim was a stool pidgeon
On the payroll of the f. b. i.
Reverend fred 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 pete was a keen 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 doomwatcher
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
