Lyrics

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

Exhibition is the name

Voyeurism is the game

Stereoscopic is the show

Viewing time makes it grow, grow, grow, grow, grow

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

My facade is just a fake

Shock, horror, no escape

Sensationalism for the feed

Caricatures are what you breed, breed, breed, breed, breed

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

Anti-art was the start

Establishments like a laugh

Yes, we're very entertaining

Overtones can be betraying, 'traying, 'traying, 'traying, 'traying

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare

I am a poseur and I don't care

I like to make people stare
