Icon For Hire - Pop Culture lyrics

And the beat goes on
Drone drone like a metronome
Day in and day out I know
How the story gonna go
Typical, typical, tongue tied and weak willed
Stuck on the sedative
Evidently to sleep well

But I haven't slept in days
I haven't dreamt in nights
I've been busy building theories I
Just can't wait to try
See, I think the beat's made to drown
Out the sound of the boom boom
While they shoot our last hope down

Pop culture does nothing for me
The American dream mainstream just bores me
Cause I'm not like you, I'm immune
I'm immune
Say it over and over until it comes true
Pop culture does nothing for me
The American dream mainstream just bores me
And we all act like we see right through it
When we all know we're addicted to it

And the beat goes on
Drone drone like a metronome
Day in and day out I know
How the story gonna go and the beat goes on
Drone drone like a metronome
Day in and day out I know
How the story gonna go

Check out them men in suit's
They're working overtime
Memorizing what you buy
Analyzing what you like
I think the beat's made to clash
And distract while they cha ching
Try and buy our loyalties back

Pop culture does nothing for me
The American dream mainstream just bores me
Cause I'm not like you, I'm immune
I'm immune
Say it over and over until it comes true
Pop culture does nothing for me
The American dream mainstream just bores me
And we all act like we see right through it
When we all know we're addicted to it

Counting down the minutes 'til
My heartbeat stops
Fooling myself is a full-time job
Counting down the minutes 'til
My heartbeat stops
Fooling myself is a full-time job
Counting down the minutes 'til
My heartbeat stops
Fooling myself is a full-time job

Pop culture does nothing for me
The American dream mainstream just bores me
Cause I'm not like you, I'm immune
I'm immune
Say it over and over until it comes true
Pop culture does nothing for me
The American dream mainstream just bores me
And we all act like we see right through it
When we all know we're addicted to it

Counting down the minutes 'til
My heartbeat stops
Fooling myself is a full-time job
Pop culture does nothing for me
The American dream mainstream just bores me
