Verse 1:

  Debbie just hit the wall

  she never had it all

  one Prozac a day

  husbands a CPA

  her dreams went out the door

  when she turned twenty four

  only been with one man

  what happen to her plan?

  She was gonna be an actress

  she was gonna be a star

  she was gonna shake her ass

  on the hood of white snake’s car

  her yellow SUV

  is now the enemy

  looks at her average life
                  
  and nothing   has been   alright

Chorus:
               
since Bruce Springstein, Madonna
 
way before Nirvana
          
there was U2 and Blondie
      
and music still on MTV
     
her two kids in high school
       
they tell her that she’s uncool
     
but she's still preoccupied
          
  with 19, 19, 1985

Intro: (after ending 1 go straight into verse 2)

Verse 2: (same as verse 1)

She’s seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even Saint Elmo’s Fire
she rocked out to wham
not a big Limp Biscuit fan
thought she’d get a hand
on a member of Duran Duran

Where’s the mini-skirt made of snake skin
and who’s the other guy singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio there was)

Chorus:

Verse 3: (same chords as verses 1 and 2, listen for strumming pattern)

She hates time make it stop
when did Motley Crew become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop!

Chorus: (a little different cause of the repeat, so i put in the chords)
             
and bring back Bruce Springstein, Madonna
 
way before Nirvana
          
there was U2 and Blondie
      
and music still on MTV
     
her two kids in high school
       
they tell her that she’s uncool
     
but she's still preoccupied

   with 1985
             
since Bruce Springstein, Madonna
 
way before Nirvana
          
there was U2 and Blondie
