Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me you'll be
Goin' out with radio
Goin' out with disco
Goin' out like bacchanal
I'll be
Goin' out with telephone
Goin' out alone
To the radar zone
[Verse 2]
It's all just inadvertent imitation
And I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent simulation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
[Verse 3]
I'll be
Playin' with my magazine
Usin' up my Listerine
Like Ovaltine
And you'll be
Dippin' in your battleship
For the latest tip
For the latest dream
[Verse 4]
It's all just inadvertent imitation
And I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent simulation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
[Verse 5]
If it's just inadvertent imitation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
What's got the whole world fakin'?
What's got the whole world fakin'?
What's got the whole world fakin'?
What's got the whole world fakin'?
What's got the whole world fakin' it? Yeah
