Public Display

Spending the day out shopping
Look for some new clothes
Cause the clothed I have are dated
And my shoes have worn out their soles
All the kids in my age group.
Are chopping at the bit.
They're trying to find a place in this world that they fit.

We gotta look good.
This is no other way.
We got to look good.
Cause we are public displays
A public display

I wish I could see the future.
I want to understand the past.
But to live in the present
You better take care of your ass.
So I just keep on working
Saving all the money I can
So I can get those clothes
And then you'll know where I stand.

We go to look good.
There is no other way.
We got to look good
Cause we're all public displays
A public display

Hey Hey Hey Hey
Look what I bought today
It's a T-shirt of my favorite band
And I think I'll get a tattoo the same.
Hey Hey Hey Hey
What would you think my mom will say
If she saw me wearing makeup
Would she think that I was gay?

Spending the day out shopping
Looking for some blue dye.
Cause I'm going to dye my hair the color
Of my girlfriends' eyes
She's gone off to the parlor to get her belly pierced Cause man when we're walking down the street We're going to look something fierce
And we're gonna look good
There is no other way
We got to look good
Cause we're all public displays
A public display
