Lyrics
Fraud
Music by Seth Adam
Lyrics by Seth Adam
© 2022 Seth Adam, BMI
Do unto others as you'd have done to you
That's just a promise to walk out the door
When you abandon all the fools you can use
That's just an avenue to finding more
You need the admiration
like a fiend needs to get his high
Then you deliver empty words in return
so superficial just to pacify
Fooling all the people with your magic
Floating in the air like you're a god
Wrapped up in your patriotic plastic
Underneath it all you're just a fraud
You sell the promise of a fortune to those
who would believe your every word
A hollow figure on the stage of the world
A phony savior to observe
Some charlatan proclaiming
he's the greatest that there is
You testify what's black & white without a light
You're just a grifter with an audience
Fooling all the people with your magic
Floating in the air like your a god
Wrapped up in your patriotic plastic
Underneath it all you're just a fraud
You're just a fraud
