[Verse 1]
Oh mirror mirror, you're coming in clear
I'm finally somewhere in between
I'm impressed, what a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene
Will you resign to the latest design?
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire, a wonderful liar
I think it's time we all should come clean

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth

[Chorus]
Hey hey now can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we won?
Hey hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde

[Verse 2]
God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah, but things aren't always what they seem
Your teary eyes, your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe
See through, yeah but what do you do?
When you're just another aging drag queen

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth

[Chorus]
Hey hey now can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we won?
Hey hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards
And we cry when they all die blonde

[Chorus]
Hey hey now can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we won?
Hey hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
And we cry when they all die blonde

Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
