Posters Songtext
von Jack Johnson

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
