I Am a Poseur 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, grooow

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, breeeed

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
'tray, 'tray, 'tray, 'traaaying

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

The Day the World Turned Day-Glo

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, grooow

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, breeeed

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
'tray, 'tray, 'tray, 'traaaying

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Rudi Thompson and Lora Logic were both amazing saxophonists!
