Do you remember 1982?
Do you recall how it molded you?
A cap and gown were my crown of thorns
1982 years after Christ was born
Pogos, Thirsty’s, the Bare’n’ Boogie
Drinking 3.2 beer stoically
Reagan in the membrane in 1982
Just Say No said Nancy, telling us what to do
John Hinckley is insane
Didn’t he grow up in Evergreen?
They busted up Ma Bell and John DeLorean
They say Wayne Williams killed Atlanta children
The Cold War like the Christmas Eve Blizzard
The Canucks vs. the Islanders
Argentina against the British Empire
Israel in Lebanon fighting with Yasser
CHORUS:
Dance like you’re missing, missing a shoe
Dance like you miss 1982
Groove to the grooves from a record or two
Pressed onto vinyl in 1982
There are 18 years left in the 20th Century
It’s over 18 years from 1983
Things will get better, and life will improve
It can’t get any worse than 1982
The Grim Reaper came for Princess Grace,
The Colorado congressman who went to outer space,
The author of The Fountainhead and John Belushi
No 'morrow, Vic Morrow; Thelonious, history.
Clear a path for the future
It’s the birth of Lil Wayne And the Commodore Computer
Thora Birch, Prince William,
Ben Roethlisberger.
Alison Brie was conceived and she was delivered
Sophie’s Choice, Gandhi and E.T.
Bette Davis Eyes and Double Fantasy
The head of a bat, spat Ozzy
I love rock ‘n’ roll about history
The Conch Republic and The Vietnam wall
Seeing U2 at the Rainbow Music Hall
The artificial heart and the Unabomber
Michael Jackson’s Billy Jean mega-seller Thriller
The Italian kidnapping of General Dozier
I’m going off to school in the Fall in Boulder
CHORUS
Has your life gotten better
Since 1982?
Did it mean as much for me
As it did for you?
It’s coming back around
Another time or two
Get used to the sight of 1982
Get used to the sight of 1982
Get used to the sight of 1982
