GIt was 1990 give or Dtake I don't remember
when the Cnews of revolution hit the Gair
The Ggirls hadn't even started tDaking down our posters
when the Cboys started cutting off their Ghair
The Dradio stations all Amdecided angst was finally
old Cenough it ought to have a proper Ghome
GDead fat or rich nobody’Ds left to bitch
about the Cgoings' on in self destructive Gzones
GThe night the practice room caught Dfire
there were rumors of a Cdragon headed straight for Muscle GShoals
G"Stoner tries to savDe an amplifier"
and it's like the dragon's Cside of the story is never Gtold
When the Ddream and the man and the gAmirls hang around long Cenough
to make you think it's coming Gtrue,
Git's easier to let it all dDie a fairy tale,
than aCdmit that something bigger is passing tGhrough
GThe hippies rode a wave putting sDmiles on faces,
that the dCevil wouldn’t even put Ga shoe
GCaught between a generation dDying from its habits,
and Canother thinking rock and roll was Gnew
Till the Dpawn shops were packed like a bAmackstage party,
hanging Cfull of pointy ugly cheap gGuitars
And the Gyoung'uns all turned to kDaraoke,
hanging all their Cwishes upon disregarded Gstars
GMy Grandaddy's shotgun is lDocked in a closet
and it Cnever shot a thing that could have Glived
An old maGn decided that you cDouldn't choose your poison
till you're Cnearly old enough to vote for Ghim
They tDurned what was into sAmomething so disgusting
even wCild dogs would disregard the Gbones
Dead Gfat or rich nobody?D??s left to bitch
about the gCoings' on in self destructive zGones
