They say the fifties are comin again!  Get out my bobby socks and run to the gym!  The fifties band has got them out on the floor -  Hey wait! I been through this nightmare before!  Those olden days were not so golden you know  Girls who got in trouble, they had nowhere to go  Couldn't take their lives into their own hands  Spent their time a swoonin over rock n roll bands  In those days colored people knew their place  Didn't try to barge into the human race  But Elvis and the others picked up all their cues  And made a million dollars singing white boy blues  Whoa Whoa - whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa  They're dancing to what oppressed us 20 years ago.  Girls wore thick makeup, boys wore thick grease  If you didn't have a steady, you were never at east  Swearin and sex, they were mortal sins -  Why the hell you think we brought the sixties in?  Everybody looked and thought and talked the same  And learned all of the details of the dating game  Boys, they were lettermen or else they were queer  If they were small or shy they lived in constant fear  chorus  Think of all the folks who miss the fifties sound  The millionaires whose profits have been going down  For the ku klux klan, those were the good ole' days  And back then, women really knew their place  Administrators missed the days when students obeyed  Didn't meddle in the world the grownups had made  The Pentagon's nostalgic for the days of yore  When every kid would rush to join their latest war!  So all you kids soakin up the scene  Sorry to break in on your American dream  But we lived through it and it ain't no fun:  No one's gonna take back what we won!  Chorus  Teen angel, teen angel, rest in pieces!  words and music by Kristin Lems c MCMLXXXIII Kleine Ding Music (BMI)
