Authentic Songtext
von Jerry Spin

I smile and I wave and I nod
I behave and I act like everyone else

I smile and I wave and I nod
I behave and I act like everyone else
I submissively keep the pace
Wear a plastic grin on my face

And the tears that I shed
Are just a copy, an act
Let me pause to catch my breath
Let me compose myself dear
To a photogenic version of me

′Cause I'm the con man you all want me to be


Practising my jokes
Becoming authentic
Putting on the looks
Of someone authentic
The con man you all want
Me to be
Pass off a poser
For the real me
Learn to mimic
Someone authentic

I smile and I wave and I nod
I behave and I act like everyone else
Man or monster behind the mask
An impostor of white milk glass
Keeping up appearances
God knows who I truly am behind the scenes
To have a face when you′re faceless
Takes practice

Practising my jokes
Becoming authentic
Putting on the looks
Of someone authentic
The con man you all want
Me to be
Pass off a poser
For the real me
Learn to mimic
Someone authentic


Practising my jokes
Becoming authentic
Putting on the looks
Of someone authentic
The con man you all want
Me to be
Pass off a poser
For the real me
And learn to mimic
Someone authentic

I smile and I wave and I nod
I behave and I act like everyone else
I smile and I wave and I nod
I behave and I act like everyone else
I smile and I wave and I nod
I behave and I act like everyone else
I smile and I wave and I nod
I behave and I act like everyone else
I smile and I wave and I
I behave and I
And I act like
I smile and I wave and I
I behave and I
And I act like
I smile and I wave and I
I behave and I
And I act like
I smile and I wave and I
I behave and I
And I act
Authentic
I smile and I wave and I nod
I behave and I act like everyone else
I smile and I wave and I nod
I behave and I act like everyone else

Authentic
Becoming authentic
Putting on the looks
Of someone authentic

I smile I smile I smile I smile
I behave I behave
