Over the counterculture
Well, that's right where you belong
You tried 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 counterculture
With your cards and catalogues
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 counterculture
Well, you live your life in waves
Last year's 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
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
Oh, don't pretend to not pretend at all
Don't pretend to not pretend at all
