1985
You want to start a fire? Let's go back
Way back when technology was our god
We had modems, they were 300 baud
It wasn't fast just the best they could get
We surfed the net before it existed yet, BBS
Man's best friend, the Commodore 64
Mechanical pencil and Trapper Keeper
MTV and radio disc jockeys
And on our tapes Misfits and Dead Kennedys
1985, it was great
Repo Man on a VCR tape, not Beta
Up all night reading Mad Magazine
Hanging out with Max Headroom, GI Joe and A-Team and She-Ra
I used the Crystal Castle as a makeup kit
Running wild, just a kid on the street
Catching crawfish with a string at the creek
Burning quarters at the mall arcades
Meeting girls on rented roller skates, backwards
And better yet I rocked the 6581
Decades before you kids with your Ableton Live
Catch the wave and sunburns at water parks
Staying out all night, way after dark
1985, it was great
Repo Man on a VCR tape
Up all night reading Mad Magazine
Hanging out with Max Headroom, GI Joe and A-Team
Stepping now into my time machine
Jess at my side and all my kids are with me
We're going back to the land of the free
Back in time, back to 1989
Way back when technology was our god
We had modems, they were 300 baud
It wasn't fast just the best they could get
We surfed the net before it existed yet, BBS
Man's best friend, the Commodore 64
Mechanical pencil and Trapper Keeper
MTV and radio disc jockeys
And on our tapes Misfits and Dead Kennedys
1985, it was great
Repo Man on a VCR tape, not Beta
Up all night reading Mad Magazine
Hanging out with Max Headroom, GI Joe and A-Team and She-Ra
I used the Crystal Castle as a makeup kit
Running wild, just a kid on the street
Catching crawfish with a string at the creek
Burning quarters at the mall arcades
Meeting girls on rented roller skates, backwards
And better yet I rocked the 6581
Decades before you kids with your Ableton Live
Catch the wave and sunburns at water parks
Staying out all night, way after dark
1985, it was great
Repo Man on a VCR tape
Up all night reading Mad Magazine
Hanging out with Max Headroom, GI Joe and A-Team
Stepping now into my time machine
Jess at my side and all my kids are with me
We're going back to the land of the free
Back in time, back to 1989
