Can I Be Sure

Too many people need a pseudonym

Cut their hair and pout like anything

So worried that the real them might get in

And paranoid about their skin

They usually have good fashion sense

So aware that red and green offends

Most have a popstar for a friend

Or live of what their parents send

Can I be sure when I don't know

who I am talking to anymore

They so adament in their belief

sincere dedicated and cheap

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 pallnode

into the next issue of mode

spectacled and pidgeon toed

With well established social prejudice

become second rate rock journalists

never satisfy the need to outwit

and influence the modernist

Too many people need a pseudonym

cut their hair and pout like anything

so afraid the real them might get in

concern and always rivalling
