You'll be
Going out with radio
Going out with disco
Going out like rock and roll

I'll be
Going out with telephone
Going out alone
To the radar zone

It's all just inadvertant imitation
And I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation

If it's just inadvertant simulation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking?

I'll be playing with my magazine
Using up my Listerine
Like Ovaltine

And you'll be
Dipping in your battleship
For the latest tip
For the latest dream

It's all just inadvertant imitation
And I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation

If it's just inadvertant simulation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking?

If it's just inadvertant imitation
A pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world faking? (6x)
