Be.Pop - Basia

In and out of fashion

Resting on the shelf

There is room for passion

I’m walking by myself

Out of step

​they tell you what to think

And how to be and how to sing

‘don't do this

And don’t do that'

But I can’t resist a flight of fancy

If you think that this is wrong

Don’t listen to this song

And let me say what I want to

Play ‘cause I want to

Be rap, be jazz, be soul, be jive

Always in and out of fashion

Resting on the shelf

There’s room for expansion

I keep walking by myself

Though out of step

​to be rock, be folk, be bop, be pop

Say what I want to

Play ‘cause I want to

Be country, be reggae, be blues, be punk, be funk, be house

Be rhumba, be salsa, be samba

​‘why don’t you stick to one style

You’ll never be played on the radio

Singles rule our times

'blah, blah …

‘give people what they want

But don’t do this

Don’t do that'

But I’m disobedient

So I’ve got to

Say what I want to

Play ‘cause I want to

Be… everything
