M.D.C. Lyrics
"Poseur Punk"

There you go scruffy and mean

All tattooed and pierced for the scene

Smoking that cigarette to capture the pose

All the groovy looks for the clothes you choose

Everything is about making you look good

As if other people and objects really could

Hey Mr. Peebrain it's about what's inside

Not what's on the outside that is so contrived

Why don't you try just to be real All that vanity makes you a heal

Find what you want and do it right And a little tip,
it won't happen overnight

Lines like "it's so heavy" so cliché It's so easy
to predict what you will say

All that talk of inner pain Just another reason for you to complain

There you go scruffy and mean

All tattooed and pierced for the scene

Smoking that cigarette to capture the pose

All the groovy looks for the clothes you choose

Sorry to shock you but it's time to wake up

Far as I'm concerned I've seen enough

I've said it now... so go figure it out

Being a poseur punk is not what it's all about

Poseur punk, since the beginning of the scene

Poseur punk, think you know what I mean

Poseur punk, come on try to grow

Poseur punk, had to let you know

Everything is about making you look good

As if other people and objects really could

Hey Mr. Peebrain it's about what's inside

Not about the outside that is so contrived

Why don't you try just to be real All that vanity makes you a heal

Find what you want and do it right And a little tip,
it won't happen overnight

Lines like "it's so heavy" so cliché It's so easy
to predict what you will say

All that talk of inner pain Just another reason for you to complain

Poseur punk, you're living a dream

Poseur punk, you are not what you seem

Poseur punk, you're easy to see through

Poseur punk, what are you gonna' do
