All you have to do is this
One bassline, cr-78 snare, tr-808 kick
The rest has already been done
Two decades ago, 1982, by nearly everyone
(Chorus)
Life in 1982
Life in 1982
Kraftwerk, Numan, The League
Their posters on the wall give me the ideas I need
From london city landscapes, to new york square
Boys dancing in black turtlenecks, girls bopping with big hair
New wave beats and noises on a quiet suburban street
The manual's in your hand, but the world's not at your feet
Flock of Seagulls on the boom box at your friday night scene
You thought you saw the future, but the future stole your dreams
One bassline, cr-78 snare, tr-808 kick
The rest has already been done
Two decades ago, 1982, by nearly everyone
(Chorus)
Life in 1982
Life in 1982
Kraftwerk, Numan, The League
Their posters on the wall give me the ideas I need
From london city landscapes, to new york square
Boys dancing in black turtlenecks, girls bopping with big hair
New wave beats and noises on a quiet suburban street
The manual's in your hand, but the world's not at your feet
Flock of Seagulls on the boom box at your friday night scene
You thought you saw the future, but the future stole your dreams
