Greatest Decade

[Verse 1] Saturday mornin' cereal bowls on the floor Static snow glow from the tube by the door Spielberg dreams and a Reiner one-liner John Hughes heartache in a high school diner Garbage Pail grins on a bedroom wall Rubik’s Cube click never solved it at all Pac Man fever at the corner store Just one more quarter just one more [Chorus] Greatest decade play it back again MTV when it still played bands at 10 Where’s the beef on the TV glow It’s 10 p.m. do your parents even know? Greatest decade stuck in my head From breakdance spins to a bunk bed spread I was a kid in a world that buzzed This is your brain on love not drugs [Verse 2] Commodore keys loading up slow Blue screen blink then the pixels grow Muppet Babies on a snack-stained couch Laugh track loud till Mom yells out Baby Jessica held our breath so tight Whole world gathered ’round the set that night Parachute pants on a gym floor slide “Gag me with a spoon” just for pride [Chorus] Greatest decade play it back again MTV when it still played bands at 10 Cheers at the bar through the living room haze Everybody felt seen on those weeknight days Greatest decade stuck in my head Boom box beats by the trundle bed I was a kid in a world that buzzed This is your brain on love not drugs [Bridge] Rewind the tape gotta track that line Die Hard plays for the thousandth time Tiny hands on a plastic gun Duck, jump, start and you always won [Chorus] Greatest decade play it back again Freeze-frame smiles on my old best friends Where’s the beef in a meme-filled feed? All I really want is that simpler speed Greatest decade stuck in my head Neon dreams in a carpeted den I was a kid in a world that buzzed This is your brain on love this is your brain on us
