lyrics

What Year Is This?

It’s the type of music that we play
It’s like the people I see each day
Can you tell me?
What year is this?

See the mom in her acid-washed jeans
Wait a minute, she’s only sixteen
Can you tell me?
Is it 1986?

See the young girl with the crimped hair
And the leg warmers that she wears
Can you tell me?
What year is this?

And to make her outfit even worse
A tasseled leather jacket and matching purse
Can you tell me?
What fad is this?

He’s got some giant writing on an oversized t-shirt
Frankie says… You’ve got to learn to relax
I better dig out my fluorescent sweat bands
And print up some brand new parachute pants

A kid with Doc Martens and a Rubik’s cube
Reliving your parents’ childhood, you’re not a trendsetter
I pity the fool who wants my MTV
It sucked back then, and today it’s no better
