letra de the sociolinguistics of group identification - half empty glasshouse

everybody’s using a new word
to say all the sh-t that they’ve said before
i can’t see any other purpose it would serve
but to indicate some sort of heightened social aptitude
and thus ascend the hierarchy of status
this is the only way that i can understand

i’m a foreigner in my home country
i’m an alien in the wrong galaxy
i’m a land animal and i’m lost at sea
i’m an android in a tribe of chimpanzees
foreigner, alien, everywhere i go
foreigner, alien, everywherе i go

others seem to just soak these nеw trends in
and i can only apply them consciously
to the extent that i can act in my own interest
it feels so painfully superficial
many times i have resolved to suck it up and play along
but i only ever infiltrate the outskirts of the herd
and we all know what that means when the predators come

subtle is the game of status and power
every little thing has some connotation
ain’t enough to just master the lexicon
gotta stay ahead of the semantic shift
kings are made by syntax and slang
i’m just trying not to get excommunicated
euphemisms come and euphemisms go
all that’s constant is my inability to…
stay in the loop
stay in the loop
i’m a foreigner in my home country
i’m an alien in the wrong galaxy
i’m a land animal and i’m lost at sea
i’m an android in a tribe of chimpanzees

foreigner, alien, everywhere i go
stay in the loop
foreigner, alien, everywhere i go
stay in the loop
foreigner, alien, everywhere i go
stay in the loop
foreigner, alien, everywhere i go
stay in the loop
