Pop Culture - Icon For Hire

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 suits, 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
