[Verse 1]

There you go, scruffy and mean

All tattooed and pierced for the scene

Smoking that cigarette to capture your pose

All the groovy looks for the clothes you chose

[Pre-Chorus]

Everything is about making you look good

As if other people and objects really could

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

Not what's on the outside that is so contrived

[Chorus]

Why don't you just try to be real?

That vanity is making you a heel

Find what you want and then do it right

A little tip, it won't happen overnight

Lines like "It's so heavy" are so cliché

It's so easy to predict what you will say

And all your talk about inner pain

Another reason for you to complain

[Verse 1]

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 chose

[Verse 2]

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

As 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 about

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

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, I gotta let you know

[Pre-Chorus]

Everything is about making you look good

As if other people and objects really could

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

Not what's on the outside that is so contrived

[Chorus]

Why don't you just try to be real?

All that vanity is making you a heel

Find what you want and then do it right

A little tip, it won't happen overnight

Lines like "It's so heavy" are so cliché

So easy to predict what you'll say

And all your talk of your inner pain

Another reason for you to complain

[Verse 4]

Poseur punk, you're living a dream

Poseur punk, you're not what you seem

Poseur punk, you're easy to see through

Poseur punk, now what are you gonna do?
