This song discusses the misfound popularity of materialistic and superficial values of people, particularly women. It explores how physical beauty is meaningless, and much more meaningful things can be found when you realize this.
Cut off your nose to spite your friends
Breathing holes that will never end and
Speak all you want or just pretend
Because she think she is a different class
So she sits all day by the looking glass
It doesn't talk, it doesn't last
But it's not what I've heard you know
A picture speaks a thousand words
But baby don't feel down
I left my heart in a provincial town
You sold your souls for magic beans
Don't believe all you read on computer screens
These things they mean nothing to me
Ripped and stained, came off the track
You go there once and you don't come back
"Good, that's what I say..."
But it's not what I've heard you know it
Cut your losses, shoot the poets
And one day you'll come down
To find yourself in a provincial town
Shoot the Poets was written by Ross Jarman & Ryan Jarman & Gary Jarman.
Shoot the Poets was produced by Alex Kapranos.
The Cribs released Shoot the Poets on Mon May 21 2007.
