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 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

[Chorus]

Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, way beforе Nirvana

There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV

Hеr 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, 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?

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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!

[Chorus]

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
