Deus - Popular Culture lyrics

Let me tell you a thing on popular culture
American swing, the British add sulfur
I'll buy you a beer if
You can compete from here
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, ohh
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, ohh
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
