[Verse 1]
I got a brain, it's a left hand drive
I don't sleep, other side
I ride a bullet like Steve McQueen
Each town I intervene
A gram of kief and the barn is jumping
It's alright, we got time
I got a radio hit in mind
I can't see, am I blind?

[Chorus]
Every night and day I never dug it
In the U.S.A, I delete myself

[Verse 2]
Gotta get to know you gene by gene
You're my jellybean
Get out the shower
And I'm four fifteen
When I'm dead, when I'm clean
Fatboy and the barn is pumping
It's alright, it's just tight
Got to get into a better business
Deep down happiness

[Chorus]
Every night and day I never dug it
In the U.S.A, I delete myself

[Outro]
I delete myself[x8]

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
