Lyrics

Cultural Zero

[Verse 1]

I got my fist in the air and my face in a big glass box

I'm swinging 'round on a turnstile, don't know if I can get off

The burning got in my sock, can't control the spinning top

Singing nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

[Pre-Chorus]

Fuck this soapbox, I need to cure my disease

[Chorus]

I'm not your cultural hero

Rings up a total zero

And you can see if I care

Watch anywhere

[Verse 2]

My stomach's in my gut that explodes and rips up back to my brain

Now I can't dance, sing, or play 'til I find it again

Why is everybody always staring at me?

Singing nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

[Pre-Chorus]

Fuck this soapbox, I need to cure my disease

[Chorus]

I'm not your cultural hero

Rings up a total zero

And you can see if I care

Watch anywhere

[Bridge]

Don't care

Don't care

Don't care

Don't care

Don't care

Don't care

[Verse 3]

Spirit has got me in a trance, I'm like a zombie in the day

Ooh, the smallest vibrations draw me inside, think I'm slippin' away

Why is everybody fuckin' staring at me?

Singing nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

[Pre-Chorus]

Fuck this soapbox, I need to cure my disease

[Chorus]

I'm not your cultural hero

Rings up a total zero

And you can see if I care

Watch anywhere

[Outro]

I'm not your cultural

Nah-nah-nah

I'm not your cultural

Nah-nah-nah

I'm not your cultural

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah
