Back in the days of '93
It was the end of history
To make a splash, it was enough
To cleverly reference other stuff
"So that's the way we'll plant our flag!"
When I think back, it makes me gag
Sure we were young, and it was fun
But we thought we were the only ones
Projects picked at random, plans long since abandoned
I was bright enough I guess, I just played dumb with all the rest
But it was warm and sunny, I was only 20
And I deny the hold you had on me
Back in the days of '95
I went into hangoverdrive
The train I'd hitched my wagon to
Was bogging down in dragon poo
A sticky face from bubble burst
And fingers cut from mirror curse
It was all a put-on, they left and I was alone
Win one for the losers, beggars can be choosers!
I can wipe the blackboard clean
There's no more room for words so mean
And I can do it pronto - I come from Toronto -
So I deny the hold you had on me
