Verse 1

Whatever happened to the 80’s 
Sitting in a flat top car chillin with ladies 
Listening to the synth and the electric drum 
When the air was cleaner the motors hum, man

With neon bright clothes it was crazy 
Music really meant something and wasn’t just lazy 
88 miles per hour caught up to the past 
Even back then they knew it wouldn’t last 

Bridge 1 

I’m stuck in the time where I’m gonna stay
I just wish I was living in a different decade 

Welcome to a time, that’s no time at all
History on the phone, answer the call 
Going through those things that you already know 
Come on everybody time to get retro 

Verse 2

The 80’s came and went into that goodnight 
Then the era of the 90’s took the flight
Gangsta Rap and grunge took the title 
Flannel and Guns wielded their by idols 

Labels putting together the next big thing
Didn’t matter if you had talent or could even sing 
You just were, and that started a precedent
With ghostwriters and autotune settin it
That’s when the fire started burning into now
If you ever really wanted to know how 

Chorus 2

Welcome to a time, that’s no time at all
History on the phone, answer the call 
Going through those things that you already know 
Come on everybody time to get retro 

Bridge 3

We can’t go back, can’t relive the past 
So let’s fight for now while it still lasts

Chorus 3

Welcome to a time, that’s no time at all
History on the phone, answer the call 
Going through those things that you already know 
Come on everybody time to get retro
