Teenage Apocalypse (MCMLXXXVII)

from 1987 by Champion Leader

/

lyrics

It's 1987
I'm laying on my bedroom floor
The Choir on the tape deck…
"Sad Face"* ?
Yeah, I'm into it…

Not going out tonite
It's nothing new, but that's alright
My friends are down at the Amber Light
It's not my scene: I'm too uptight

Gather those rosebuds while ye may
Soon we'll be sleepwalking
in the bright light of the Day

Just give me distortion
i need the closure
just write me a letter
I need the clever
things that you say
in order to come up with the next line

25 years into the future
MCMLXXXVII
25 years away
Now we dance through the night
and we sleep all day

Some Disney girl shakes her backside
and the masses sway
What happened to our future?
Was Johnny right?
Is there no future?

Adolescent Apocalypse
no one grows old
but no one ever lives
the dead walk the earth with their plastic hips
but they can shake those hips
Can they shake those hips!

Teenage Apocalypse
MCMLXXXVII
Teenage Apocalypse
You can't stay "forever young"
Someday we're all gonna die
