Turning American |
| Do you remember British achievement, and living when times were good? |
| Watching the start of the end of an era, would you go back if you could? |
| When I was younger, the smell of the hunger, in all of the music you played |
| Kept me believing you lived for the lifestyle and not just the cash to be made |
| 'cos it’s a place where people happen, it’s the corner of success |
| Everybody loves you, and you’re never second best |
| The smell of easy money, and you follow it to death |
| I smell… the shit… upon your breath |
| I remember you when you were an Englishman |
| But now you’re turning American, turning American |
| Walking away from the crumbling empire |
| Won’t make it grow anymore |
| Changing your style 'cos the radio tells me |
| How can you sleep? |
| you’re a commercial whore |
| And you’d lick the steaming phallus if it’d offered you a hit |
| Clean you of integrity and then they’ll make you fit |
| You think you’ll glide to stardom then you’ll show them what you’ve got |
| Your pride, your balls, they own your lot |
| I want to be American, I want to be a star |
| You should be over there, you should go far |
| But I don’t want to learn 'cos I know it all now |
| You should be guaranteed to find out how |
| You’ll always be a wanna be, you look too far away… |
| 'cos it’s a place where people happen, it’s the corner of success |
| Everybody loves you and you’re never second best |
| The smell of easy money, and you follow it to death |
| I smell… the shit… upon your breath |
