Posters

Lyrics

Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else
 Because the posters on the wall they don't look like him at all
 ♪
 So he ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back, and gives a grin
 Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all
 ♪
 He gets his courage from the can, it makes him feel like a man
 Because he's loving all the ladies but the ladies don't love him at all
 ♪
 Cause when he's not drunk he's only stuck on himself
 And then he has the nerve to say he needs a decent girl
 ♪
 Looking at herself but wishing she was someone else
 Because the body of the doll it don't look like hers at all
 ♪
 So she straps it on, she sucks it in, she throws it up, and gives a grin
 Laughing at herself because she knows she ain't that at all
 ♪
 All caught up in the trends well the truth began to bend
 And the next thing you know man there just ain't no truth left at all
 ♪
 Cause when the pretty girl walks she walks so proud
 And when the pretty girl laughs, oh man, she laughs so loud
 ♪
 And if it ain't this then its that
 As a matter of fact
 She hasn't had a day to relax
 Since she has lost her ability to think clearly
 ♪
 Well i'm an energetic hypothetic version of another person
 Check out my outsides there ain't nothing in here
 ♪
 Well i'm a superficial, systematic, music television addict
 Check out my outsides there ain't nothing in
 Here comes another one, just like the other one
 Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else
 Because the posters on the wall they don't look like a him
 And so he ties it up he tucks it in, he pulls it back and gives a grin
 Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all
 He knows he ain't loved at all
