Let me tell you a thing   On popular culture   American swing   The British add sulphur   I'll buy you a beer   If you can compete from here      They throw you a line   Let me see it 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, oooohhhh      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… oooooh…      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
