1985

[Verse 1]
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 plans?
She was gonna be an actress, she was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake that ass on the hood of Whitesnake's car
Now her SUV has become the enemy
Looks at her average life, nothing has been alright

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
She's seen all the classics at least a hundred times:
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Fast Times at Ridgemont High
She rocked out to Wham!, not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Never knew George was gay; hoped they'd hook up one day
Where's her fairytale? Where's her dream?
Where's the quarterback from her high school football team?
Where's her fairytale? Where's her dream?
How many times will she ask herself "What happened to me?"
Ask herself "What happened?"
(The rubber broke!)

[Chorus]
When 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

[Bridge]
She hates time, make it stop
When did Mötley Crüe become Classic Rock
She hates time, make it stop
She hates time, make it
Make it, make it, make it, make it, make it stop!

[Chorus]
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 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
