[Hook]
Me and you
Surviving in the 80's


[Verse 1]
Out of time, out of work

Surviving in the 80's
Special thanks to the master jerk
Surviving in the 80's

He's okay on Capitol Hill
He and his friends got a birthday pill
Feeling better and better and better still

Cause they're
Surviving in the 80's


Yeah, that's right, I'm talking about you
Surviving in the 80's


[Hook]

[Verse 2]

Sister sister goes to school
Spends four years being cool
Then finds out in the final heat

A four years job is obsolete

But that's okay, baby, just be yourself

Surviving in the 80's

Welcome to the 80's, y'all

Plastic cars, plastic bars, and plastic people

[Verse 3]

I can't find nowhere to go
Surviving in the 80's
Everywhere sees the same shows

Surviving in the 80's
Baby, can it be?
We fell back to '53


[Verse 4]
Out of time, out of mind

Acting like a friend of mine
Covered me when my eyes are blind
Now he's

Surviving in the 80's

Welcome to the 80's, y'all

The land of technology, you and me
What else is crammed in here?
Surviving in the 80's


[Hook]


[Verse 5]
Cars that float in the air
Surviving in the 80's

A ghetto craft to take you there
Surviving in the 80's
To a special place above the sun

Tell me your way in '91

Want to go to the sun with me, babe?

We can get a serious tan
That's right


[Hook]

[Verse 6]

Thousands march wave avenue
Living their life in the nude
They're the future, very lewd

They're surviving in the 80's

[Hook]
