Tryna make an effort, did you ever stop to be genuine?

Your passion's not in question

Fake it 'til you break it, scrap metal, start all over again

Next time might be different

Don't contrive, don't pre-script, don't deflate

This world's run by imitators

Insecure little dictators

Can I get through this

Without the grim manipulators?

'Cos I'm tired of the baseness

Of these posey-wosey fakers

Thinking they're Die Hard

They all talk like haters

Petty bourgeois agitators

Give 'em Nakatomi Plaza

and you'll see they're all just fakers

When it growls like a 'gator

But can't chew through soggy paper

Well they're tryhard

Suffering from imposter syndrome's normal when you're out of your zone

Hard to know what's normal

Trust yourself enough though 'cos you made it all this way on your own

Your normal's not been done yet

Don't contrive, don't pre-script, don't deflate

This world's run by imitators

Insecure little dictators

Can I get through this

Without the grim manipulators?

'Cos I'm tired of the baseness

Of these posey-wosey fakers

Thinking they're Die Hard

They all talk like haters

Petty bourgeois agitators

Give 'em Nakatomi Plaza

and you'll see they're all just fakers

When it growls like a 'gator

But can't chew through soggy paper

Well they're tryhard

I'm too old, I'm too weak

I'm too poor, I'm too meek

I am so tryhard

This world's run by imitators

Insecure little dictators

Can I get through this

Without the grim manipulators?

'Cos I'm tired of this baseness

Of these posey-wosey fakers

Thinking they're Die Hard

They all talk like haters

Petty bourgeois agitators

Give 'em Nakatomi Plaza

You'll see they're all just fakers

When it growls like a 'gator

But can't chew through soggy paper

Well they're just tryhard

Maybe we're tryhard
