I feel like some people may read the lyrics and just assume it's about cops or fighting the MANNN or whatever just because it's Jane's Addiction but you have to remember that Perry is a real person who faces every day problems just like the rest of us, and interpret the lyrics however you feel you should, but I feel that the lyrics could be as simple as this:
You meet a person and they feel, for some reason, that they are bigger than you and their thoughts and opinions matter more than yours and they're all wrapped up in their ego and they think they know everything (I know about pain and suffering and being cold) but they have nothing to back it up so they just play it off like they know what they're talking about. While at the same time you know what's up and you know a faker when you see one and you expose them, in your head.
Also I feel like the lyrics were written half from the faker's point of view (I'm right and you're wrong) and half from Perry's point of view (If you've got some big secret why don't you sing me something?/How he feels, that's proof for him)

OR... vice versa.
