Identity Fraud

from We Won't Change by NineBar

/

lyrics

Nonentities, trying to be something that they'll never be,
Adopting identities vastly removed from reality
Busy creating an image that's laughable,
While their real life persona can best be described as forgettable

Fantasy life, fantastic lies, style copied from the street
But its identity fraud when you're happiest indoors, safe behind a screen

A loser re-brands themselves as a winner from the comfort of their room
It won't stand up to close scrutiny
Because for all that's claimed there’s not a shred of proof
It’s just a quest for artificial infamy

Fantasy life, fantastic lies, style copied from the street
But it's identity fraud, when you portray a side of life that you've never lived

Cheap stunts and attempts to boost your fame
Backfired now you look twice as lame
Only wanted a name for the sake of it
Nothing of value to say

You think you're turning heads, well its stomachs that turn
A turd rolled in glitter is still a turd
Wrapped in a bandana it just looks absurd
When under all the bluster is a fuckin imposter
