The day when MTV started I thought I was in heaven and Id died Videoes well-suited my short attention span Got my first cocaine snort and I was wired



I spent my life in the early Eighties When Reagan and the Smurfs were here to stay Im a child of the Me Generation Self-indulgent shit filled my days



Nuclear war The Jackson Tour The Fresh air Times Square



Ric Ocasek was my hero Scrawny long bad posture all the same He was kinda ugly and kinda dorky I was Hungry Like the Wolf and thats my shame



John Belushis really dead now Threes Companys gone into repeats Tom Selleck and Don Jonson are trying to be movie stars Without their fashion pastels theyre just not complete



The Love Boat Sails The Contras wail Bad economy Police Acamedy



Take me back to your better days When the Clash headlined arena shows When everybody wondered what they meant by Freeze Frame And J. Geils girlfriends a centerfold



Rick Springfield

Bernie Goetz

Ollie North

Mr. T



I spent my life in the early Eighties When shuttles exploded in the sky Yuppies like bunnies multiplied in sin And Delta was just not safe to fly
