Thea Gilmore - Mainstream Lyrics

Headstrong, heavy weather Going at it Hell-for-leather Red lights flashing on Some little pop song Boys get out your Balzac The Empire’s gonna strike back The critics and the diplomats are living in a tin shack Break-neck, full-tilt Climb the ladders they built Angels in the abattoir Junking off a good guitar Stay on city bandwidth You don’t get the language But don’t become the girl who’s only turning on the lightswitch How you going to swim the mainstream? How you going to swim the mainstream? How you going to make that lightning? How you going to swim the mainstream? Heads-up, they all say History was a big mistake Chews you up, spits you out Then asks you what the lick’s about An old tin army A young James Dean And another kinda war that is waging in your bloodstream A wildfire, wild-card This girl’s been, fire The new weapons, read the rules Sent the rebels back to school They’ll book you for the next crime Get you in the nick of time So don’t trust the captain who is sailing in a straight line How you going to swim the mainstream? How you going to swim the mainstream? How you going to make that lightning? How you going to swim the mainstream? Now say your prayers, staple line Is busy saving daylight Age plays dirty tricks You’re looking like a counterfeit He’s gonna train us Can you really blame us If we grow up we’re all going to be famous Thea Gilmore Lyrics Mainstream Lyrics
