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 catalogs,

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 years dream was a terrible scheme,

And this new fad will fade



Let's see, what can we be now?

That hasn't been done before?

Shut your eyes,

Look inside.
