Let me tell you a thing
On popular culture
American swing, oh
The British add sulphur
I'll buy you a beer
If you can compete from here, oh
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, oh
And I was thinking: "Well, hey
I'm gonna throw it away
I'm throwing out my popular culture
'Cause now you know it's not great
If you don't come from the States
And 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, oh
And I was thinking: "Well hey
I'm gonna throw it away
I'm throwing out my popular culture
'Cause now you know it's not great
If you don't come from the States
And 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 ones your heroes suffered
And so you gotta be strong
You've got to just speak in tongues
About how you belong in popular culture
