Letra de Born In The Eighties

[Verso 1]
I grew up in the 90's, least that's what I tried
Looking for ways to be satisfied
Went to San Diego to try out my luck
Came back 12 months later, again I was stuck

[Coro 1]
I felt like a goldfish
Stuck in a bowl
Was waiting for something
That I could control

[Verso 2]
After 2000, no longer a kid
The world didn't end but something else did
When my father takes off, I'm already 19
He wasn't as happy, as I thought he seemed

[Coro 2]
If this is my screenplay
I don't like my role
These are the things
That you just can't control

[Verso 3]
Though I feel a lot older, I'm just 23
If you're looking for answers, don't come to me
Instead of a future, I've got a guitar
But dreaming out loud, won't get me far

[Coro 3]
Still I feel I'm ready
Gor rock'n roll
Cause there might be something
That I can control

[Verso 4]
By the time I hit 30, I'll have enough
Of being a twenty-something in love
My friends will all be married, or they will be gone
And, I'll still be wondering what's going on

[Coro 4]
If that's what it takes
Then I'll sell my soul
As long as there's something
That I can control

[Verso 5]
One day I'll wake up, and I'll be 38
Doing the things I used to hate
The trick to forget the bigger picture is when
You look at everything in closeup, as often as you can

[Coro 5]
Yeah, our revolution
Is covered in mold
Cause there's only so much
That you can control

[Puente]
And this is no anthem, 'cause anthems are proud
Pride isn't something that this is about
I shouldn't care, shouldn't care, but I do
And that's sometimes, too hard to bear

[Coro 6]
Still walking the same roads
My shoes full of holes
Just waiting for something
That we can control

[Verso 6]
If I ever reach 50, or 65
Too early to tell, if I'll still be alive
We were born in the 80's, and now we are here
My generation's dream will disappear

[Verso 7]
I'm at a graveyard, passing the rows
A silent surrender, we'll never get close
Yeah, this is my story, you swallowed it whole
About us feeling the need to be, in control
