In '85,
Tuesday morning,
Route 66 is gone,
And reagan's here,
Nintendo comes,
Live aid, too,
While i spent all my days
In catholic school?
In '89,
The dream begins,
Pete rose is banned for good,
The simpsons come to hollywood,
Russia leaves afghanistan,
Flight 103 ends pan am,
Bush is here
This is the year
That i feel most alone
No more
Countin' down the hours
No more
Wishin' you were here
I stopped believin',
Although journey told me 'don't'
Before i call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
In '92,
A boy is born,
Boris yeltsin chills,
Freddie dies,
Barcelona has the games,
Lady di is single again,
Clinton wins,
And i still dream
That i'll find you someday
In '97,
A baby girl,
Tony blair tips the scales,
Elton sings for the princess of wales,
Microsoft buys into mac,
My dad has a second heart attack,
And train leaves san francisco
In a thousand-dollar van
Chorus again
2001,
The towers fell,
The world is stunned,
I wish i knew ya
I was on a plane,
The world would never be the same
The artificial heart is born--
Ironic when new york's is torn out
Woah-oah-oah-oah
2004,
Began in may,
Facebook joins the internet,
Oldsmobile joins the cassette
I met your family
It took a while until you kissed me,
But when you did,
I finally felt at home
CHORUS
2012,
And all i know
Everybody sings and cries,
Makes the grade and takes the prize
In somethin', nothin', i don't care
D,
With me
