Red Hot Chili Peppers - Poster Child lyrics

Melle Mel and Richard Hell
Were dancing at the Taco Bell
When someone heard a Rebel Yell
I think it was an infidel
Adam Ant and Robert Plant
The banter of a sycophant
Enlisted by Ulysses Grant to record
At the Record Plant
Islamabad is on the nod
Havana and the riot squad
And if you want to be a Mod
You'll have to meet me at the quad

You got the best of my loco
I'll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I'll take the rest of your low note

Parliament's Atomic Dog
Thе hats were filling up with fog
Talk about the lifе and death
Of every penny analogue
The seventies were such a win
Singing the Led Zeppelin
Lizzy looking mighty Thin
The Thomson's had another Twin
My daughter won the lottery
The numbers never thought of me
Ramones had a lobotomy
So spin me like your pottery

I will be your poster child
You know
The world is ours for a little while
And then, I will be
Your poster child tonight
Ow
La da da da, ba ba ba dum

A funky feast of Sandinista
Neon mono Mona Lisa
Judas Priest the sweet barista
Mother load was named Teresa
Bubble gum I cum Bazooka, Dirty Dan
Dean and Deluca
Smoked banana in your hookah
Now I know the brand is RVCA
Bernie Mac and Caddy Shack were
Dusty as the brickerbrac
And if you ask me for the time
I'll tell you that The Future's Back

You got the best of my loco
I'll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I'll take the rest of your low note

Steve Miller and Duran Duran
A joker dancing in the sand
Van Morrison the astral man
A festival they have in Cannes
Speak of Chico and the Man
The silence of a certain lamb
MC5 kick out the jam
A poncho full of contraband
Dairy Queen was on the scene
The EveryKid teen magazine
The Motorhead and Mr. Clean
My piston needed Valvoline

I will be your poster child
You know
The world is ours for a little while
And then I will be your poster child tonight
La da da da, ba ba ba dum

You got me on this
Well, and I can't get off
With no one else but you
You turn me on, too
Well, and I can't get up (Ooh)
For no one else but you

Cream Magazine a Love Supreme
The ballad of a Billie Jean
And now we know the Status Quo
But God will never Save the Queen
Dave Mushegain Copenhagen
Cowboy ghost of Ronald Reagan
Dollar save was Flavor-Flavin'
Cosmic rays of Carl Sagan
Hammer fist a double kiss
Unlisted number purple mist
The Chubby Checker do the twist
And everyone's a narcissist

You got the best of my loco
I'll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I'll take the rest of your low note

The waterbed was taking meds
Devo with their hats of red
A fatty for the Natty Dread
A pocket full of Talking Heads
Maya's making Paper Planes
Addiction to the days of Janes
My Slurpee's made of Purple Rain
Ten fingers in the lion's mane
Giant squid karate kid
Sid Vicious and the katydid
The planet that we must forbid
The English Beat are in Madrid

I will be your poster child
You know the world is ours for a little while
And then I will be your poster child tonight
La da da da, ba ba ba dum
I will be your poster child
You know the world is ours for a little while
And then I will be your poster child tonight
La da da da, ba ba ba dum
