| Let me tell you a thing on popular culture
|
| American swing, the British add sulfur
|
| I’ll buy you a beer if you can compete from here
|
| They throw you a line
|
| Let me see if you catch it
|
| And they’ll give you some time, sure
|
| If you got something to match it
|
| Just as long as you know
|
| Who is running that show, ohh
|
| And I was thinking, well, hey
|
| I’m gonna throw it away
|
| Throwing out my popular culture
|
| 'Cause now you know it’s not great
|
| If you don’t come from the states
|
| You will always be late to be in popular culture
|
| From western slang to showbiz spells
|
| You’d almost think there’s nothing else
|
| Can you give me the news
|
| On the romantic actor?
|
| No, I don’t really care
|
| But his blues is for me a distractor
|
| Through his eyes I can see
|
| What is wrong with me, ohh
|
| And I was thinking, well, hey
|
| I’m gonna throw it away
|
| Throwing out my popular culture
|
| 'Cause now you know it’s not great
|
| If you don’t come from the states
|
| You will always be late to be in popular culture
|
| From western slang to showbiz spells
|
| You’d almost think there’s nothing else
|
| And I was thinking, well, hey
|
| Well, what the hell is my place
|
| If someone else will dictate
|
| My singular culture
|
| 'Cause everybody’s a star
|
| And if you don’t think too far
|
| You can define who you are
|
| Through popular culture
|
| It’s like you’re not really seen
|
| Without a fashionable spleen
|
| That is so much alike the one
|
| Your heroes suffered
|
| And so you gotta be strong
|
| You’ve got to just speak in tongues
|
| About how you belong
|
| In popular culture |
