Songs From The Age Of Human Error by Kerry JK<\/a>
\nThe comforts of mainstream culture, celebrated.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s so hard not to take it to heart
\nWhen I’m left feeling stupid when I’m meant to be smart
\nWell, I’ve made up my mind
\nI’m going to leave it behind
\nAnd I’m not going to fake anymore<\/p>\n

I don’t want to be rash, or be acting in haste
\nA mind’s such a terrible thing to waste
\nBut I’ve had enough
\nOf this pretentious stuff
\nAnd I’m not going to fake anymore<\/p>\n

So I’ll appreciate the mainstream without irony
\nThe common denominator’s alright by me
\nI’ll get all my culture from celebrities
\nI’ll kick back and live vicariously
\nI’ll be the happy fool
\nI won’t care if you think I’m cool
\nAnd I’m not going to fake anymore<\/p>\n

When trying to get it right it’s so easy to lose sight
\nAnd chase an ideal you so want to be real
\nWell, I’m not going to fake anymore
\nSelf image is such a bind
\nIt’ll sap all of your energy and monopolise your time
\nGiving all that you’ve got to be what you’re not
\nWell, I’m not going to fake anymore<\/p>\n

So I’ll watch Premiership football and reality TV
\nIf I feel like it I’ll play the lottery
\nI’ll vote on X-Factor and love BGT
\nBuy my clothes on the high street, drink regular tea
\nNo guilty pleasures, no sacred cows
\nQuoting books I’ve not read, I’m beyond all that now
\nI’ll be affected by marketing like everyone else
\nIncluding those who think they’re not
\nBut for now I’m just going to end
\nTrying to impress people who aren’t my friends
\nI’ll be the happy fool
\nI won’t care if you think I’m cool
\nAnd I’m not going to fake anymore<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s always a chance I could be wrong
\nWell in that case, I’ll just write another song
\nI’ll be the happy fool
\nI won’t care if you think I’m cool
\nAnd I’m not going to fake anymore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
