lyrics

IT'S A POPGUN CULTURE
Words and music ©1986 by Dave Caruso

When the good good girls are gone
And the married ones are taken
When you've finally found you're wrong
And the realization sets in
You think you'll never be young again
And your life defines confusion
That's your only real fault
And it's a curable delusion

It's a popgun culture where cool is king
Youth and beauty are everything
Sex and money are the card and key
To the members club of society

I'm too old to do what I'm told
I'm too young to listen to reason
So profound it's sound advice
So profane it could be treason

It's a popgun culture where cruel is king
Youth and beauty are everything
Sex and money are the card and key
To the members club of society

You'd better listen to your heart
You'd better learn to be a dancer
Because they'll keep you on your toes
And there are no easy answers
So the only thing to do
Is forget about the Joneses
And let the world keep up with you
In the rat race for the roses

It's a popgun culture where crap is king
Youth and beauty are almost everything
Sex and money are the card and key
To the users group of hypocrisy
