over the counter culture lyrics

Over the counter culture
Well that's right where you belong
You try to sever your ties with the London skies
But you've got the whole thing wrong

You try to be so different
As does everybody else
Create your own distinctions
And flaunt them for yourself

Over the counter culture
With your cards and catalog
The mainstream wipes the river bed clean
You're just wrong, you're just wrong

You think you followed your heart again
Now it's in to be out
Destroy the plans and just start again
Don't pretend to not pretend at all

Over the counter culture
Well you live your life in waves
Last year's dream was a terrible scheme
This new fad will fade

Let's see what can we be now?
That hasn't been done before?
Shut your eyes
Look inside

You think you followed your heart again
Now it's in to be out
Destroy the plans and just start again
Don't pretend to not pretend at all
Now don't pretend to not pretend at all
Don't pretend to not pretend at all
