Whatever Happened To The 80ies Songtext
von Donots

This one goes out to my friend Jimmy Pop
To the kids going to Hollywood
Please wake me up before you go-go
There′s something I want to know
Did Mark King reach level 43?
Did my George take Terence Trent to be?
I heard the guys and broads are sisters
Like the girls and misters, misters

Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?
Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?
Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?
Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?


Thank God Rick Astley gave us up
When will the Scorpions break up?
Next time you think about going to Tower of Power
This is what you ought to know
Sandbox, you're back at Crowded House
These are the things you do without
Misogyn′ D is no longer INXS
Just Revival and Shatterglass

Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?
Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?
Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?
Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?

Looking out the dirty old window
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
Party night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat but it's shooting headin′ down
I search for the beat in this lonely town

Downtown the young ones are going
Downtown the young ones are growing
We′re the kids in America
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round
We′re the kids in America
We're the kids in America
Everybody live for the music-go-round


Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?
Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?
Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?
Whoa-oh, whatever happened to the eighties?

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
We don′t need no water
Let the motherfucker burn
