Lyrics:Hypocrite [Version (a)]:
Tonight, bleeding from the holes in my face
But I don't want to give it away
You did it for the family name
Crash collide into space
You, your favorite color red
I guess that I'm the hypocrite
You're not responsible, I'm responsible
Who's to blame?
Tell me, who's to blame?
Tell me who
I won't ever do that again
I've been all over the place
I watched the strawberry fields
Dry up and wither away
And if you ask me to stay
You know that's where I will be
Won't ever do that again
Don't wanna do that again
You call me Baby Blue
For all the evil schemes I pull
We sit and watch the waves break
I made a lot of mistakes
Crash collide into space
Who's to blame?
Tell me, who's to blame?
Tell me who
I won't ever do that again
I've been all over the place
I watched the strawberry fields
Dry up and wither away
And if you ask me to stay
You know that's where I will be
Won't ever do that again
Don't wanna do that again
I won't ever do that again
I've been all over the place
I watched the strawberry fields
Dry up and wither away
And if you ask me to stay
You know that's where I will be
Don’t wanna do that again
The Song:"Hypocrite" is a song originally on Cage the Elephant's album

In 2019, Beck collaborated with Cage on the song "Night Running," and then went on a big tour over the summer with them and the band Spoon. Towards the end of the tour, a limited edition 7" single was made available of Beck covering one Cage song ("Hypocrite") and one Spoon song ("I Turn My Camera On").
