I can walk, I can talk, and dispense ridicule
And I understand irony better than you
Kitsch and chic - retro clique - I make lists in my sleep
Now my time has arrived - it's already archived!
Sequential retrospectives in the nation's collective
We're blinded to the folly of our past misdirectives
Watching revivals and mid-life crises
Dodging from the fallout of nostalgic reprisals!
(woah!)
Suddenly everybody rates me, because I'm a child of the 80s!
Suddenly everybody rates me, because I'm a child of the 80s!
Decadence to the sound of a Fairlight on heat
Getting loaded on spacedust and Rene Magritte
Aquaducts on the moon
Reading books just to prove
That our time had arrived - the time of our lives!
It was silicon carnage once the decade had started
From the disaffected masses - and the masses were artists
Meteor arclights lit the dancefloor by starlight
Driving through the Dresden underpasses at midnight!
(woah!)
Suddenly everybody rates me, because I'm a child of the 80s! x4
Suddenly everybody rates me, because I'm a child of the 80s!
Suddenly everybody rates me, because I'm a child of the 80s!
We're living in the 80s! (Suddenly everybody rates me!)
We're living in the 80s! (Because I'm a child of the 80s!)
We're living in the 80s! (Suddenly everybody rates me!)
We're living in the 80s! (Because I'm a child of the 80s!)
We're living in the 80s! x4
Suddenly everybody rates me, because I'm a child of the 80s!
Suddenly everybody rates me, because I'm a child of the 80s!
Because I'm a child of the 80s!
