Posse (Brass Knuckles remix)

I don't wanna be

Be in your posse, girl

I don't wanna be

All caught up in your social scene

I don't wanna be

Be in your front seat, girl

I know I'm your recruit

But I ain't gonna follow suit

You got Morrissey and Joy Division on CD

But I don't go for them

I can't move to that beat

I like Marvin Gaye and Gospel music

My soul and my heart

But you call it noise

You always spoil my favourite parts

I don't wanna be

Be in your posse, girl

I don't wanna be

All caught up in your social scene

You're skipping school 'cause it's cool

But it's not for me

I learned to dream

I learned to read at this old academy

You're out to make every man

Your fleeting dream

But I'm a one-man woman

I'm all down with monogamy

You cuss and curse

So they think

That you're rough and tough

But I like Shakespeare

And I find "dammit" heavy enough

You like new age

All the rage, philosophy

But I don't read my palms

I read the Psalms

They speak to me

I don't wanna be

Be in your posse, girl

I don't wanna be

All caught up in your social scene

I don't wanna be

Be in your posse, girl

It's not my scene

All of the aristocracy

It's not you

Maybe I'm just too pedantic

I'm a self-confessed

Idealist and romantic

You say, "Join the gang

Be my yang and I'll be your yin"

But try as I might

I'm not your type, I don't fit in

I don't wanna be

Be in your posse, girl

It's not your fault

And I send my apologies

I don't wanna be

Be in your posse, girl

You're a trip

But I don't flip on your ecstasy

I don't wanna be

Be in your posse, girl

Trust me, you'll see

We're yin and yang, that's my prophecy

Yin and yang (that's my prophecy)
