Hey, let's get right back to the basics,
Every movement made-up is useless,
Same old shit with the brand new sound
Write it off as progress, it's pointless

That's not who you were in the eighties,
Stole all ideas from other cities,
Get it straight when you're upside down,
Things are looking stale,
It's time to turn around

I was sick of the feeling,
Sick of image and sound,
Getting far without leaving,
Thanks for letting me down

Now, I know,
That it's all been done before,
And it will all be done again,
So pick up the trends,
You dumb Americans
Now, I know,
That it's all been done before,
And it will all be done again,
So pick up the trends

Burn it down and rip out the pages,
The kids all right 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

Taking too long to capture
Going back to the place
And things are moving much further
To falling back on their ass

Now, I know,
That it's all been done before,
And it will all be done again,
So pick up the trends,
You dumb Americans
Now, I know,
That it's all been done before,
And it 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 it will all be done again,
So pick up the trends,
You dumb Americans
Now, I know,
That it's all been done before,
And it will all be done again,
So pick up the trends
Oh, come on, sweat
