Icon For Hire- Pop Culture Lyrics
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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

I think it's funny how so many people in the comments section are talking about how much they hate mainstream music because this song is kind of meant to be an ironic jab at people that say that. "We all act like we see right through it, when we all know we're addicted to it."

Generally not fond of Christian bands and I think icon for hire is an excellent model for religious minded people to keep religion and music seperate. Also like how she is real with her lyrics and doesn't shy away from plugging in personal problems (ie-iodine) into her lyrics.

some people think that a song is only good when its deep. But that is a pretty good song with a great message. Some people are so blinded with "Deepness" That they only listen to them and miss so much. Those people who insult the songs for not being deep are no different than people who only listen to pop. They both are so entitled that at some point they tend to ignore what is the message in the song and that is a pity.

every time somebody likes this song it reminds me that the world isnt full of just mindless people that listen to "todays hits" and that there are still people who listen to GOOD music

I love Icon For Hire. Their music is so inspiring and is helping me to become more comfortable expressing myself, and being okay with stepping out of the mainstream. I've starting revamping clothes and streaking my hair. Thank you Ariel!

They're even more amazing live! Absolutely one of my favorite bands and I had the privilege of seeing them at 2014 warped tour and meeting them. By far, one of the kindest and most amazing bands.

Whenever I'm tempted to waste my time playing video games when I should be working on really important things, I listen to this song because it reminds me I won't be on Earth forever and I gotta make the most of my life.
