Galen Polivka - Positive Jam lyrics

Woke up in the '20s and there were flappers And fruits in white suits It was right before the crash We got thrashed throughout the '30s Queuing up for soup with scabby sores Then they sent us off to war We came back in the '40s And there were wheelchairs, guns and ticker-tape We poured it on the floor And we made love to the interstates We got shiftless in the '50s Holding hands and going steady Twisting into dark parts Of the large Midwestern cities Tripped right through the '60s With some blissful little hippie Some Kennedys got shot While you were screwing San Francisco And the '70s got heavy We woke up on bloody carpets Got tangled up in gas lines And I guess that's where it started The '80s almost k**ed me Let's not recall them quite so fondly Some Kennedy OD'ed While we watched on MTV And in the '90s we were wired and well connected Put it all down on technology And lost everything we invested We gotta start it off with a positive jam Gotta start it with a positive jam, man Gotta start it with a positive jam All the sniffling indie kids Hold steady And all you clustered-up clever kids Hold steady And I got bored when I didn't have a band And so I started a band, man We're gonna start it with a positive jam Hold steady
