2002-12-28 | "1977"

I wrote this song while watching the MTV2 punk weekend thing a couple weeks back when I was in California.

(see the entry before this for details on that)

In '77 I turned two years old

I didn't know there was something going on

It would've been nice to see it, but why go away?

To a place you weren't meant to, instead of living today

Stop living through your heroes veins

They've moved past it, why can't you?

Inject some ingenuity into your brains

Leave what you can't change behind

In '84 I kissed a girl

Or at least I wanted to give it a whirl

I shouldn't have listened to what the others said

I should've just done what I wanted to

I should've taken more plunges and less deadly lunges

I shouldn't have been afraid of failure

Instead, I submitted to it

Before I even had a chance to give it a fight

I can't lie...if I had the chance to go back, I might

But I'm happy right now, so what's the point?

Why go back to a time when people were so annoyed

Social unrest isn't cool anymore

There are too many beautiful things to explore

In 1977 I turned two

I've moved on

Have you?
