Posters Lyrics by Jack Johnson

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
