  1. It's hip to be a hypocrite, well, that's how it seems

  2. Saying and portraying things you don't really mean

  3. All talk, no walk

  4. You can be a winner with no skin in the game

  5. You can be a sinner long as you say you've changed

  6. Your talk, your walk

  7. Well, if that's the game we're playing

  8. Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

  9. Yeah, if that's the game we're playing

  10. Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

  11. All these pompous fools

  12. With their broken rules

  13. And their noses in the air

  14. Keep pretending that they care

  15. All these stubborn mules

  16. Went to fancy schools

  17. But the only thing they learned to do is talk

  18. It's hip to be a hypocrite, well, that's how it goes

  19. Saying and portraying things but only for show

  20. They talk, throw rocks

  21. Living in a mansion that they made out of glass

  22. Always throwing tantrums, always getting a pass

  23. All talk, they don't stop

  24. Well, if that's the game we're playing

  25. Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

  26. Yeah, if that's the game we're playing

  27. Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

  28. All these pompous fools

  29. With their broken rules

  30. And their noses in the air

  31. Keep pretending that they care

  32. All these stubborn mules

  33. Went to fancy schools

  34. But the only thing they learned to do is talk

  35. All they do is talk

  36. All they do is talk

  37. All they do is talk

  38. All they ever do is talk

  39. All they do is talk

  40. All they do is talk

  41. All they do is talk

  42. All they ever do is talk

  43. All these pompous fools

  44. With their broken rules

  45. And their noses in the air

  46. Keep pretending that they care

  47. All these stubborn mules

  48. Went to fancy schools

  49. But the only thing they learned to do is talk

  50. Well, if that's the game we're playing

  51. Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

  52. Yeah, if that's the game we're playing

  53. Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

Hipocrite

It's hip to be a hypocrite, well, that's how it seems

Saying and portraying things you don't really mean

All talk, no walk

You can be a winner with no skin in the game

You can be a sinner long as you say you've changed

Your talk, your walk

Well, if that's the game we're playing

Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

Yeah, if that's the game we're playing

Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

All these pompous fools

With their broken rules

And their noses in the air

Keep pretending that they care

All these stubborn mules

Went to fancy schools

But the only thing they learned to do is talk

It's hip to be a hypocrite, well, that's how it goes

Saying and portraying things but only for show

They talk, throw rocks

Living in a mansion that they made out of glass

Always throwing tantrums, always getting a pass

All talk, they don't stop

Well, if that's the game we're playing

Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

Yeah, if that's the game we're playing

Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

All these pompous fools

With their broken rules

And their noses in the air

Keep pretending that they care

All these stubborn mules

Went to fancy schools

But the only thing they learned to do is talk

All they do is talk

All they do is talk

All they do is talk

All they ever do is talk

All they do is talk

All they do is talk

All they do is talk

All they ever do is talk

All these pompous fools

With their broken rules

And their noses in the air

Keep pretending that they care

All these stubborn mules

Went to fancy schools

But the only thing they learned to do is talk

Well, if that's the game we're playing

Then I'm praying we don't play it for long

Yeah, if that's the game we're playing

Then I'm praying we don't play it for long
