Bowling For Soup - 1985 lyrics

Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day, husband's a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned twenty-four
Only been with one man
What happened to her plan?
She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass on
The hood of Whitesnake's car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life
And nothing has been alright

Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana there was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with
19, 19, 1985, 1985

She's seen all the classics
She knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
Even Saint Elmo's Fire
She rocked out to Wham
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she'd get a hand on
A member of Duran Duran
Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin?
And who's the other guy that's
Singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become TV?
Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows?
(on the radio?)

On the radio was Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana there was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19
1985

She hates time, make it stop
When did Mötley Crüe become classic rock?
(Classic rock)
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop, stop, STOP!

And bring back Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana there was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 1985
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana there was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19
1985
