Car nazis burn rubber out in the street   It's Saturday night once again   The highway patrol stops at Denny's to eat   The world's racing but nobody wins      Young girls will try the new fashions tonight   Then go to the dance at the school   And the boys'll start drinking and get their heads tight   And the flatlanders try to look cool      Then the band will start playing and no one will care   Though they request all their favorite songs   They just wanna make sure that their friends are all there   So they can feel like they belong      Then they go to a friend's house and watch MTV   Where all the bands look just alike   And they might even like some of that dumb stuff they see   Then dress up in leather and spikes      But where do they go when they start to grow old   They go home to bed every night   'cause when they start workin' they get tired and slow   Get married and start a new life      Friends move away, never heard of again   Funny how everyone ages   Their face in the yearbook is what's left of them   And the poems that they left on the pages
