There's no time for leisure
Greed’s a guilt free pleasure
PC's are new technology
When can you begin to make all your dreams come true
On the road down by the sea
In our Chevrolet we'll drive
Trying hard to stay below .05
Cause in '82 we got the RBT
But to drink without fear
The 80's brought the light beer
From the bottlo down the street.


In the '80s Rita Hayworth lost her memory
In the'80s Drinking Weight Watchers slimming tea
In the ‘80s Ronald Reagan was the number one man
In the '80s George Bush at his right hand
In the 80s We drank beer by the can
In the'80s Saving Amazon land
In the '80s Greenpeace made a stand

It's no guess, it's no guess
Beta's not as good as a VHS

TV was less censored
MTV a new venture
Multicultural society
There were New Romantics
That could give a bit of a fix
With Dallas and Dynasty on TV
Bruce Springsteen and U2
With big clothes and bigger hair.
With Bon Jovi and Madonna too
Get a cheap steak down the pub
Or parmigiana at the club
Anywhere you can get good grub

In the '80s in the sun you could bask
In the '80s And drink wine by the cask
In the '80s Tom Cruise was a star
In the '80s Thought life came from Mars
In the '80s Lennon's killer behind bars
In the'80s Oldsmobiles were the cars
In the '80s To go driving near and far

It's no guess, it's no guess
Beta's not as good as a VHS
