Chanel Yates - 20th Century Kids

Every Friday
I drive the same way
Same high school kids they never change
Past the old church
Where I grew up
By the river I knew what love was
All the CD's Mariah Carey
Empty bottles that were left on the concrete
Guess I need a hot tub time machine to go back
To Kissing all our posters of our favourite bands 
Out in the streets until we got called in
When we were young dumb and free
Mom did our dirty laundry
Just like in the movies
Hey I think that the world has changed, a lot, not just a little bit
Hey maybe since we all became someone on the internet We were the 20th century kids
We didn't do it for the internet
It was easy living back then
No money drama
No money to spend
Calling your friends
on a flip phone
(hey what are you up to?)
What happened to the toys in the cereal
When did we get, so consumed 
In the likes on our photos, not cool 
So lost in the algorithm take me back, When we thought true love would last
And the world felt big before society
Made me feel pain and know anxiety
When we were young dumb and free
Mom did our dirty laundry
Just like in the movies
Hey I think that the world has changed, a lot, not just a little bit
Hey maybe since we all became someone on the internet We were the 20th century kids
We didn't do it for the internet
Hey i think that the world has changed, a lot, not just a little bit
Hey maybe since we all became someone on the internet We were the 20th century kids 
Lighting up our candy cigarettes
We didn't do it for the internet
No not for the internet
We were the 20th century kids 
We didn't do it for the internet 
No not for the internet
