[Intro:] Yeah. It wasn't always like this. There was a time when the air felt different. Before the signals were jammed. Before the screens became our masters. Take a walk with me, back to the last decade of being human. [Chorus:] Remember the 90s? When the world wasn't fake Before the glitches and the shadows and the massive mistake We were playing in the streets, we didn't worry 'bout the fates Before the Aliens were in control of the United States. The sky was just blue, the truth was easy to find Now they’re beaming 5G straight into your mind Looking back through the static, yeah, it’s hard to relate Remember the 90s, before they took the States. [Verse 1:] (Gritty, nostalgic, slightly mourning) I remember payphones and the smell of the rain Before they swapped our pulse for a chip in the vein. We had landlines and neighbors, we had real conversations Now we’re social-media-slaves to the alien corporations. They were building the traps while we were watching cartoons Hiding the motherships behind the glow of the moons. In ninety-five, we were alive, feeling the sun In twenty-five, we’re just a file, and the harvest is done. They took the grunge and the grit and they replaced it with plastic A global lobotomy, the results are fantastic— For them. Not for us. We’re just the ghosts in the hall Remembering a world that they forced us to fall. [Verse 2] Hold up—rewind the tape, find the escape, I’m in a blind-state! I’m a 90s baby with a crazy-lady-gravy-train-mind-state! I’m rocking a Starter jacket, a pager, and a Walkman In a basement, chasing a spaceman, I’m the talk-man! Remember N64? GoldenEye on the floor? Before the "Eye in the Sky" was knocking down your door! I’m Tamagotchi-toxin, a box-in-the-attic-fanatic I’m systematic, nomadic, a 90s-rhyme-acrobatic! They weren't "influencers" then, they were just weirdos in flannels Now the aliens are toggling the digital channels! I’m "Saved by the Bell" but I’m screaming in hell Because the Max is a mask for a prison-cell-shell! (Double time flow) I’m-a-back-flip-to-the-back-street-with-a-Pez-dispenser-and-a-dream And-I’m-smashing-the-server-to-stop-the-extraterrestrial-scheme! It started in the 90s! They were already here! We were just too busy dancing to notice the fear! [Chorus:] Remember the 90s? When the world wasn't fake Before the glitches and the shadows and the massive mistake We were playing in the streets, we didn't worry 'bout the fates Before the Aliens were in control of the United States. [Outro:] (dial-up modem connecting) "You’ve got mail."
