A pop song about how red balloons
Start a terrible war from a concrete room
First Blood and Red Dawn showed us the way
The righteous and the stoic make the bad guys pay
We learned in school how democracy
Would go 'round the world setting communists free
While the lakes and rivers foamed in the summer sun
And lawyers in their suits ruined everybody's fun
Careful with that nostalgia mister
It doesn't tell the whole truth
The bad all seems to fade into mist here
When I'm searching for meaning thinking back on my youth
The flash of the 80's
Blocked out the pain
A decade of greed fueled by cocaine
MTV fashion on a global scale
With cyanide aspirin and bombs in the mail
How'd we make it through
An '80s youth?
Got a twelve-year-old buying cigarettes
While aerosol cans make a hole of regrets
Young boy breaking while the rap beats play
Thinks just like his dad about minorities and gays
Careful what you wish for mister
The bad comes with the good
It's nice to reminisce about the old days
But I wouldn't go back even if I could
The Flash of the 80's
Won't come again
No rules and no reason to slow for the bends
They sent us down the path we're on now
Just live for the moment and we'll figure it out
How'd we make it through
An '80s youth?
