Copycat Lyrics

Pioneer is pioneer, it's a way of life
Special way of mind border-lining crime
Pioneer is first and gives the most
Ain't no need for further props
Pioneer gets down in the motherfucking mud
Makes a goldmine out of dump
But you know who gets even bigger cut?

Copy-copy-copy-copy-copycat!
Copy-copy-copy-copy-copycat!
Digging like an ostrich in the motherfucking mud
Just the please the copycat!

Now copycat is copycat and as we learn
It's whole discipline of its own:
Same walk, same talk, but just no heart
That's trade mark of the copycat
These days, copycat always gets paid
We call America for Amerigo Vespucci
But Columbus gets all the cootchie-cootchie
Cootchie-cootchie-cootchie copycat . . . cut!

Cover art for Copycat lyrics by Gogol Bordello

I guess it's kind of obvious. The copycats get all the credit, but all they did was copy. The first people, immigrants, pioneers etc. Did all the hard work, but the copycats get everything. Also, note the mention of Coloumbus. He really wasn't the first to "discover" America. And of course, Amerigo Vespucci, after which America was named... not too sure why America was named after him, though.

actually, Amercia wasn't even named after Vespucci... when something is named after someone, we use the last name not the first; in fact America was named after Richard Ameryk, who funded the second trip to America
