Can I Be Sure

Whoa to many people need a pseudonym

They cut their hair and pout like anything

Their so worried that the real them might get in

And paranoid about their skin

They usually have a fashion sense

So aware that red and green offends

Most have a pop star for a friend

Or live off what their parents send



Chorus ~

Can I

Can I be sure when I don't know

Who I'm talking to anymore

Can I

Can I be sure when I don't know

Who I'm talking to anymore



They so adamant in their belief

Their sincere their dedicated and their cheap

They maintain they've never needed to enfeoff

Or justify to their relief

But then it barely lasts an episode

From verse to verse without a palinode

Into the next issue of mode

Spectacled and pigeon toed



Chorus



With well established social prejudice

Become 2nd rate rock journalists

Never satisfy the need to outwit

And influence the modernist

Whoa too many people need a pseudonym

They cut their hair and pout like anything

So afraid the real them might get in

Concerned and always rivalling



Chorus ~ x 3
