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
