Pretty Boys Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Pretty boys - on my tv screen 

Teeth so white and hair so clean 

Pretty boys - sing and play guitars 

Pretty boys get to be big stars 

How do you rate my sex appeal from one to ten 

Is my image just a bit confusing 

Maybe i should get a facelift, start again 

Maybe i should trade my pointed shoes in 

'cause talent don't count 

For pretty boys 

Those promo people got a lot to answer for 

You can take your face and see just where it fits 

Be a pretty pawn in someone else's war 

Your baby blue eyes - somebody else's wits 

Equals success 

For pretty boys 

I want to see a human being on my tv set 

Want some action for the fat and thin man 

They're getting closer but they ain't got robots yet 

Just a hero with a smile like a tin man 

No brains and no heart 

Just pretty boys
