Barenaked Ladies - Teenage Wasteland lyrics
[Barenaked Ladies - Teenage Wasteland lyrics]
No, we're gonna do a bunch
Of new stuff tonight and, uh but
I'm gonna have to warn you, most
Of it's in German so
I hope you've all attended your
German classes in high school, because
You're required to take, I think
It's at least two languages, aren't you?
In high school? Yeah
Yes yes, two languages
And typing that's all you need and
You get a high school diploma
Is woodshop a language?
No, woodshop falls under typing
Oh, okay this next song
Is called "99 Luftballons"
Ah 1, 2, a 1, 2, 3
I first met Millie in art
Class in high school
With her short brown bob
She was better than Bateman's best
I never thought I'd ever see a miracle
And who'd have thought it would
Be in an arcade?
Well she moved like an angel
And she spoke like a memory
And she smoked like a chimney
And she completed Dragon's Lair
On just one quarter on just one quarter
On just one quarter on just one quarter
I called her up, but she wasn't home
I knew she was downstairs
But her dad didn't like me
I never thought I'd see a miracle
I called her back in 10
Minutes and disguised my voice
I spoke like an actor
And I moved like a burglar
Then I lied like a carpet
And I did a phony survey on her whole family
On her whole family on her whole family
On her whole family
Nobody at school knew what I was trying to do
But right after art class, I made history
'Cause when you love someone
Yeah, and you don't even know no one
She moved like an angel
She spoke like a memory
Then she moved to Alberta
I'm gonna visit her at grandma's
Well, maybe next week yeah, maybe next week
Okay, maybe not next week maybe never
Maybe it doesn't matter maybe it never did
It didn't matter at all
Of new stuff tonight and, uh but
I'm gonna have to warn you, most
Of it's in German so
I hope you've all attended your
German classes in high school, because
You're required to take, I think
It's at least two languages, aren't you?
In high school? Yeah
Yes yes, two languages
And typing that's all you need and
You get a high school diploma
