20th Century Kids

Every Friday
I drive the same way
Same high school kids they never change
Past the old church
Where I grew up
By the river I knew what love was

All the CD's Mariah Carey
Empty bottles that were left on the concrete
Guess I need a hot tub time machine to go back

To Kissing all our posters of our favourite bands
Out in the streets until we got called in

When we were young dumb and free
Mom did our dirty laundry
Just like in the movies

Hey I think that the world has changed, a lot, not just a little bit
Hey maybe since we all became someone on the internet
We were the 20th century kids
We didn't do it for the internet

It was easy living back then
No money drama
No money to spend
Calling your friends
On a flip phone
(Hey what are you up to?)
What happened to the toys in the cereal

When did we get, so consumed
In the likes on our photos, not cool
So lost in the algorithm take me back
When we thought true love would last

And the world felt big before society
Made me feel pain and know anxiety
When we were young dumb and free
Mom did our dirty laundry
Just like in the movies

Hey I think that the world has changed, a lot, not just a little bit
Hey maybe since we all became someone on the internet
We were the 20th century kids
We didn't do it for the internet

Hey i think that the world has changed, a lot, not just a little bit
Hey maybe since we all became someone on the internet
We were the 20th century kids
Lighting up our candy cigarettes
We didn't do it for the internet

No not for the internet

We were the 20th century kids
We didn't do it for the internet
No not for the internet
