[Verse 1] You fashion words that fools lap up And call yourself a poet Tattooed pretense upon your skin So everyone will know it [Pre-Chorus 1] And I guessed your favorites one by one And all to your surprise From damned Nick Cave to Kerouac They stood there side by side [Chorus] You, my sweet, are a fool You, my sweet, are plain and weak
Go let the other girls Indulge the crap that you excrete [Verse 2] Declare yourself an honest man Who needs a chance to prove it But traps were laid, the bed was made So obvious you blew it [Pre-Chorus 2] And I bet you gave her one by one Regurgitated lines From saint Nick Cave and Kerouac And all the better guys [Chorus x4]
