Wake up on the wrong side of the bed
Make some toast with your moldy bread
And I, I want you I want you to
See the outline of the street
Watch for potholes as you drag your feet
And I, I wanted to tell you, you know, you know where to go
Fake it to make it, that’s how it’s gotta be
You break it, you take it, and it won’t be for free
While I am finding my way home
Fake it to make it on your own
Get up, lace up your shoes
You’re too young to be having the blues
And I, I want you I want you to
Hear the language of the street
You never know who you will meet
And I, I wanted to tell you, you know, you know where to go
Fake it to make it, that’s how it’s gotta be
You break it, you take it, and it won’t be for free
While I am finding my way home
Fake it to make it on your own
Oh if it helps to wear a wig, or to whistle or to jig
Do what you have to do
Oh if it helps to wear a hat, it don’t matter where you’re at
Only where you’re going to
Lock up, put on your sweater
Can’t stay dry in this stormy weather
And I, I want you I want you to
Feel the rhythm of the street
Taste the salt of the bittersweet
And I, I wanted to tell you, you know, you know where to go
Fake it to make it, that’s how it’s gotta be
You break it, you take it, and it won’t be for free
While I am finding my way home
Fake it to make it on your own
