Posse Brass Knuckles remix by Kimbra Lyrics

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)
