Chrysler It Was 1982
IT WAS 1982
When I was a child, so weary and lonely,
I used to run out in sunday afternoons
I'd play by the river, the trailers, the bridges
The city built houses where grass no longer grew
And it was 1982
Oh yeah, alright
All the world shone bright and new
Oh yeah, alright
Now I'm only passing through
And I can't follow you
You need to change your point of view
We were betrayed in 1982
And I remember the lilacs, the sirens, the circus
I remember my mother, she always seemed confused
We used to go swimming, or riding the Opel
with my little sister before all hell broke loose
Back in 1982
Oh yeah, alright
Days and weeks you can't undo
Oh yeah, alright
Now I'm only passing through
And I can't follow you
You need to change your point of view
We were betrayed in 1982
Back in 1982
Oh yeah, alright
Days and weeks you can't undo
Oh yeah, alright
It was pretty, but untrue
What are you gonna do?
You need to change your point of view
We were betrayed in 1982
