Jack Johnson - Posters lyrics

Album: Brushfire Fairytails (2001)

Lookin at himself but wishin he was someone else
because the posters on the wall that don´t look like him at all.
So he ties it up he tucks it in he pulls it back he gives a grin,
laughin 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 has lovin all the ladies but the ladies don´t love him at all.
When he has not drunk he has only stuck on himself,
and then he´s the nerve to say he needs a decent girl.

Lookin at herself but wishing she was someone else
because the body of the doll that don´t look like hers at all.
So she straps it on she sucks it in she throws it up & gives a grin,
laughin 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´sn´t had a day to relax,
since she has lost her ability to think...clearly.

Well I am an energetic, apathetic version of another person.
Check out my outsides there ain´t nothing in here
Well I am a superficial, systematic, music television addict.
Check out my outside there ain´t nothing in here.-comes another one,
just like the other lookin at himself but wishin he was someone else because
the posters on the wall that don´t look like him,
ties it up & tucks it in & pulls it back & gives a grin.
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain´t loved at all.
Knows he ain´t loved at all
