Hey let's get right back
to the basics
every movement
made-up is useless
Same old shape
with a brand new
sound write it off
as progress
it's pointless
That's not who you were
in the eighties
stealing your ideas
from other cities
Get it straight when
you're upside down
things are looking stale
it's time to float around
I was sick of the spirit
We're sick of
image and sound
I'm getting thoughts
of leaving
but things are
letting me down
Now I know
that it's all been
done before
and will all
be done again
So pick up the trends you
dumb Ameri-ca-a-a-a-ans
now I know that it's all
been done before and
will all be done again
So pick up the trends
Burn it down and
rip off the pages
the kids are alright
through the ages
Making sure that
it works for now
cut your hair and
paint your stupid faces
Let's pretend that
we can get together
yeah, yeah
let's enjoy one another
Useless talking about
that now everybody still
likes to f**k around
take it good
on the capture
Going back to the plans
And things aren't moving
much further
to falling back
on their a**e
Now I know
that it's all been
done before
and will all be
done again
So pick up the trends you
dumb Ameri-ca-a-a-a-ans
now I know that it's all
been done before and
will all be done again
So pick up the trends
New York City
loves to mess around
with the LA sound
the LA sound
New York City
loves to mess around
with the LA sound
the LA sound
c'mon
New York City
loves to mess around
with the LA sound
the LA sound
New York City
loves to mess around
with the LA sound
oh yeah
the LA sound
Now I know
that it's all been
done before
and will all be
done again
So pick up the trends you
dumb Ameri-ca-a-a-a-ans
now I know that it's all
been done before and
will all be done again
So pick up the trends
oh come on
