Story behind the song
A paean to all young people born or going through childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, or their second childhood during that most memorable of decades -- we are all Children of the Eighties -- and our relationships with our parents haven't changed one bit!
Lyrics
Well, they say this generation has only one thing on our minds,
Dont tell me its the same old story Ive heard too many times!
The ways of life are many, but the joys of living are few,
And youll find your friends, if any, are having better times than you!
Gotta believe it...gotta believe its true!
In the evening we assemble at the crossroads of our choice
And the towns around us tremble at the echo of our voice!
There is no room for slumber, theres no place for parents fears,
Cause its them that we outnumber and itll be that way for years!
If you try and ask them for the car,
They say, Boy, who do you think you are?
Chorus
I wanna know if your judgments are right
Why do they never hold up at night?
I gotta see whats waiting for me...
Babies, dont you know someday youve got to grow?
Children of the Eighties, wake up!
Rock and roll is a cause to take up!
By waiting you will only see it!
Do like us and you can be it!
