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 |
