Well...they'll teach you about the abab scheme (or aaBB) - which fits (in any language, including arabic) with melody...and rhythm. Even in pop songs people step out. Some of that shit only fits in specific dialects. Two words might only rhyme in english if you're from a particular place...the same being true of arabic.
This amounts to vocal fireworks in a performance.
Fun fact, you can learn three chords and play any pop song in english, five if you're fancy.
-if you really wanted to see how malleable english pop songs are, try Post Modern Jukebox.
...long story short, is this. Songs, in english, are made for a drunk performer to belt out at a bar to patrons who will appreciate the overall sound while not noticing the technical complexity present, if any.
Shit is easy to play, -kills- at closing time.

No hell below us
Above us only sky

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
