Poser Stew
Poser Stew: A Musical Roast of Subculture Impostors
Lyrics
We're preheating the oven
We are preparing for something.
We're making sure it's hot
Making sure the situation is intense or exciting.
We're rounding up these losers
Gathering people considered inferior or fake.
Gonna throw them in the pot
Planning to confront or eliminate them.
Adding in some veggies
Introducing additional elements, possibly complications.
And bring it to a simmer
Allowing the situation to develop but not boil over.
Some garnish on the plate
Adding a finishing touch, perhaps to mask the true nature.
Then we ring the bell for dinner
Signaling that the event is ready to commence.
