Name: Can't Fake It
Duration: P00H03M19S
Description: FUNK! Opening with a dynamic guitar riff, "Can't Fake it" dives into a series of grooves that will get those hips swingin'. The song contests the life of a personna who can't hold a job, getting fired from every attempt at employment he undergoes. It's quirky but cool, and features solos from the guitar, bass, organ and horns. It's bluesy, it's groovy and will get you dancing in ya jacuzzi ;-)

lyrics

Ooh the city’s busy, the traffic lights are frozen red,
The boss is waiting to throw a hammer through my head,
And I can’t blame him, because I’m late for work again,
And I dream and I try,
I laugh as I cry ‘cause I can’t fake it,

The boss confronts me, and smoke is fuming out his ears,
I like my chances, to win employee of the year,
‘Cause I’m still learning how to free my life from sin,
And this pressure inside I just cannot hide ‘cause I can’t fake it

The boss confronts me, your service is no more required,
It’s just a polite way to say to hell and back you’re fired,
The CV’s glowing as unemployment defines my life,
And when the taxman calls my name,
I’ll burst into flames ‘cause I can’t fake it
