Jack Johnson - Posters Lyrics

I'm 57 years old and I like classic rock, classic country. But I love me some Jack. Thanks to my children.

Gary Moore that’s so awesome 😎

nm faded
electricity thing

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…

So profound and deep.

Posters

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 it's 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

I never realized how sad these lyrics were

Fake personalities brought me here. To a real man!!

love u jj

Life Brought me here! Feel free to use that one 😎

Just love the vibe of his music.

Jack Johnson brought me here. I love Jack Johnson.

love this song. love out cold too

Did I ever tell you how I invented snowboarding? I don’t want the credit, they just keep giving it to me.

Me too...such good vibes.

out cold brought me here

thank you for being the only good video for this song that also lets me convert it into my library

First time I listened to this song I imagined this really great music video to go along with it. A lot can be done, I'd really like to see an official video for it

It's so true too... that's why no one should have to try to be different you should just be different.

something about his singing reminds me of Anthony from, "Red Hot Chili Peppers".

@FJay89 i think i just peed myself at this.

wow i just realized what he is saying in this song, its about not being who you see on tv and on your "posters" refering to the boy and the girl isnt the thin beautiful doll she has such as a barbie. now think every boy and girl thinks the same thing and so they grow trying to be like the "posters" they have, and what happens? no diversity or original truthness even though they all claim to be original and different

love it.

He's right... unbelievable quality... much better than that other one that went quieter then louder.
