We've been talking a long time now about playing in the talent show
But we've done nothing but lie around so get your sticks, Chris, it's time to go
Cause I know a couple songs we could try that only have about three chords
With Joel on guitar, Mike on the keys, we'll floor them
I'm not saying that I can sing, but I can kinda hold a tune
My little brother can play the bass, he's been learning it all afternoon
Now we've only got another eight weeks before the Battle of the Bands
So tell me, do you want to take a stand
This is a year we've gotta make it happen, 1989
Or waste our days away in vegetation, 1989
Cause this school just wants to kick us sideways, this school just kicks us in the teeth
So tell me boys, what do you all believe in
Had a quick look at the other band, and they're flashier than Motley Crue
The lead guitarist's got a faster hand, but he wears makeup and a lame hairdo
And the only really bad news is that JoJo's banging on their drums
But with Joel on guitar, Douglas on lead, we'll floor them
This is a year we've gotta make it happen, 1989
Or waste our days away in vegetation, 1989
Cause this school just wants to kick us sideways, this school just kicks us in the teeth
So tell me boys, what do you all believe in
This is a year we've gotta make it happen, 1989
Or waste our days away in vegetation, 1989
Cause this school just wants to kick us sideways, so let's kick it back before we leave
Tell me boys, what do you all believe in
