They're so phony, phony, phony, phony
Got all those riches they don't
Own me, own me, own me, own me
You ivy league, but you don't
Know me, know me, know me, know me now
Just fakers wearin' crowns
You never gonna bring me down
Watch me now
Gives me the creeps, it could be me
Maybe I'm jealous
Call me a cynic, ain't trynna spin it
Just overzealous
I ain't buyin' the shit they sell us
I ain't drinkin' the lies they tell us
Won't make a scene, 'tween you and me
It's just not my thing
They'll play pretend until the end
They're so phony, phony, phony, phony
Got all those riches they don't
Own me, own me, own me, own me
You ivy league, but you don't
Know me, know me, know me, know me now
Just fakers wearin' crowns
You never gonna bring me down
Watch me now
Lie through their teeth, hypocrisy
The way that they work it
March in a line, dressed to the nines
Throwin' back Percocet
Under their disguises, afraid of what they're hidin'
Gives me the creeps, so make-believe
It's just not my thing
They play pretend until the end
They're so phony, phony, phony, phony
Got all those riches they don't
Own me, own me, own me, own me
You ivy league, but you don't
Know me, know me, know me, know me now
Just fakers wearin' crowns
You never gonna bring me down
Watch me now
So, so phony
So, so phony
So, so phony
So, so phony
You're never gonna bring me down
Watch me now
They play pretend until the end
Play pretend until the end
They're so phony, phony, phony, phony
Got all those riches they don't
Own me, own me, own me, own me
You ivy league, but you don't
Know me, know me, know me, know me now
Just fakers wearin' crowns
You never gonna bring me down
Watch me now
So, so phony
So, so phony
So, so phony
So, so phony
You're never gonna bring me down
Watch me now
