Lyrics

[Intro] (Two, three, four) [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? [Pre-Chorus] 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 (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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 was [Chorus] 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! [Interlude: Jaret Reddick and Erik Chandler] Are you okay? I'm good Did you hurt yourself on that? No? No I didn't I almost did, but uh He's fine, it's uh- we're okay Do you wanna go? Sure [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 (1985) There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV (1985) Her two kids in high school, they tell her that she's uncool (1985) 'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19, 1985 [Outro] Hooray for us!
