[Verse 1]
The glamour boys swear they are a diva
The glamour boys have it all under control
Always dancing, always laughing
The glamour boys are playing the role
The glamour boys never have no money
The glamour boys wear the most expensive clothes
The glamour boys are always at the party
Where the money comes from heaven only knows

[Chorus]
I ain't no glamour boy
(I'm fierce!)
I ain't no glamour boy
(Whoo!)
I ain't no glamour boy
(I'm fierce!)
I ain't no glamour boy

[Verse 2]
The glamour boys live off their ambition
The glamour boys have it all figured out
A very, very dubious position
When you got no clout
The glamour boys' whole life is a gamble
They might get over or fall flat on their face
But if one does, there's no need to worry
Another G-Boy will take his place

[Chorus]
I ain't no glamour boy
(I'm fierce!)
I ain't no glamour boy
(Whoo!)
I ain't no glamour boy
(I'm fierce!)
I ain't no glamour boy

[Verse 3]
The glamour boys don't think about tomorrow
The glamour boys just need tonight to play
But just like things you can't afford on credit
Time catches up and you have to pay
The glamour boys are always on the guest list
You'll always find them in the hottest spots in town
They'll be your friend if you have fame or fortune
If you don't they won't be hanging 'round

[Chorus]
I ain't no glamour boy
(I'm fierce!)
I ain't no glamour boy
(Whoo!)
I ain't no glamour boy
(I'm fierce!)
I ain't no glamour boy
Yeah, yeah
I ain't no glamour boy
(I'm fierce!)
I ain't no glamour boy
(Whoo!)
I ain't no glamour boy
(I'm fierce!)
I ain't no glamour boy
No, no

[Outro]
Hey, what do you mean my credit's no good?

Living Colour

Living Colour is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1984. Stylistically, the band’s music is a creative fusion influenced by heavy metal, funk, jazz, hip hop, country, and alternative rock. Their lyrics range from the personal to the political, in some of the latter cases attacking Eurocentrism and racism in America.

Living Colour rose to fame with their debut album Vivid in 1988. Although the band scored a number of hits, they are best remembered for their signature anthem “Cult of Personality”, which won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1990. They were also named Best New Artist at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards and won their second Grammy Award for their follow-up album Time’s Up. After disbanding in 1995, Living Colour reunited in late 2000.
