Song of the Indeterminate Time Period, 6 January 2K6

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 going to be an actress, she was going to be a star
She was going to 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... all right 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 nineteen... nineteen... 1985

She's seen all the classics, she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, even St. Elmo's Fire
She rocked out to Wham!, not a big Limp Biskit fan
Thought she'd get a hand on a member of Duran Duran

Where's the miniskirt made out of snakeskin?
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become TV?
Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows, or the radio?

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 nineteen... nineteen... 1985

She hates time, make it stop
When did Mötley Crüe become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop
Stop
And bring back

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 nineteen... nineteen... 1985
