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 bird 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
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

I'm not fakin' it
Foolin' myself that I'm makin' it
I'm not fakin' it
I'm not fakin' it

Slim Jim was a stool pigeon on the payroll of the FBI
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

I'm not fakin' it
Foolin' myself that I'm makin' it
I'm not fakin' it
I'm not fakin' it

Fakin' it, not fakin' it
Fakin' it, not fakin' it
Fakin' it, not fakin' it
Fakin' it, not fakin' it
Fakin' it, not fakin' it
