The O.C. Supertones Album: Revenge of The O.C. Supertones Track: Cult of Cool
Cult of Cool Lyrics
It's just another lie to sell to me But I'm not buying To live the way they do on MTV Yeah you're trying
Just a little too hard and we can see through There's a guy in a suit and he's trying to tell you What you should like and what you should do Will you fall in with the world or will you say
We won't pay for a lie Get away right away I want Christ, Christ alone Christ to call me His own
Chorus We won't play by your rules Here is one you won't fool I think it's dumb I won't succumb to the cult of cool To the cult of cool To the cult of cool
To them you're just a number on a page A target market Try it out on someone your age And hope you buy it
You're trying too hard and we can see through There's a guy in a suit and he's trying to tell you What you should like and what you should do Will you fall in with the world or will you say
We won't pay for a lie Get away right away I want Christ, Christ alone Christ to call me His own
Chorus
There is a decision to be made Will you conform? That is how the companies get paid Or are you transformed?
You pay somebody to poison your mind Will you be a target marker or will you be a gold mine? There's a brainwash store and they're waiting in line Will you fall in with the world or will you say
We won't pay for a lie Get away right away I want Christ, Christ alone Christ to call me His own
Song Description: 'It's tough being a kid. Especially today. There's so much pressure to fit in, and if you don't you're subject to ridicule and exclusion. You're either 'cool' or you're out and that's that. But who decides what's hot and not? MTV literally rules the minds of teenagers. Do you realize that a bunch of rich grownups are setting the standards of music, fashion, and lifestyle for teenagers?!? Everyday marketing executives are pressuring you to 'conform to the patterns of this world'. I suggest to you not to give in but instead 'be transformed by the renewing of your mind' you may not belong to the cool cult, but you will belong to Christ, and He doesn't go out of style.' - Matt Morginsky (The O.C. Supertones)
