| Hey, let’s get right back to the basics,
|
| Every movement made-up is useless,
|
| Same old shape with the brand new sound
|
| Write it off as progress is pointless
|
| That’s not who you were in the eighties,
|
| Stealing your ideas from other cities,
|
| Get it straight when you’re upside down,
|
| Things are looking stale,
|
| It’s time to float around
|
| I was sick of the spirit,
|
| Sick of image and sound,
|
| Getting thoughts of leaving,
|
| But things are letting me down
|
| Now, I know,
|
| That it’s all been done before,
|
| And it will all be done again,
|
| So pick up the trends,
|
| You dumb Americans
|
| Now, I know,
|
| That it’s all been done before,
|
| And it will all be done again,
|
| So pick up the trends
|
| Burn it down and rip off the pages,
|
| The kids all over right through the ages
|
| Making sure that it works for now,
|
| Cut your hair and paint your stupid faces,
|
| Let’s pretend that we can get together,
|
| Yeah, yeah, let’s enjoy one another,
|
| Useless talking about that now,
|
| Everybody still likes to fuck around
|
| Take it good on the capture
|
| Going back to the place
|
| And things aren’t moving much further
|
| To falling back on their arse
|
| Now, I know,
|
| That it’s all been done before,
|
| And it will all be done again,
|
| So pick up the trends,
|
| You dumb Americans
|
| Now, I know,
|
| That it’s all been done before,
|
| And it will all be done again,
|
| So pick up the trends
|
| New York City loves to mess around with the LA sound, the LA sound,
|
| New York City loves to mess around with the LA sound, the LA sound,
|
| New York City loves to mess around with the LA sound, the LA sound,
|
| New York City loves to mess around with the LA sound,
|
| Oh yeah, the LA sound
|
| Now, I know,
|
| That it’s all been done before,
|
| And it will all be done again,
|
| So pick up the trends,
|
| You dumb Americans
|
| Now, I know,
|
| That it’s all been done before,
|
| And it will all be done again,
|
| So pick up the trends |
