Dead on a course so full of crossroads Full of runarounds and little loopholes Dodging taxes, running outta gas Don't blame the White House when we can't live fast Around the corner there is a new day Here come the 80's, we'll find a new way We'll find some new friends, we'll find some old friends We'll free some has-beens around the next bend Get on the phone now, spread the power We're out of power another hour Don't fool around, you ain't got to go down, hey Here come the 80's, here come the 80's Run out of first legs, ain't got no second wind We're standin' up now for the third time And out on the grapevine, there's fear that our time has come Out of the old world, into the new world We will not run away, we will not go away Turn on your hotline, break out your bread line No time for fine lines, they're ain't no two time Too many bylines, sure ain't no high side To save your bloodline, don't ever fly blind Dawn on a new age, then turn a new page Here come the 80's, here come the 80's Down on the farm now, they gave us corn to grow Straight into town now, they gave us winding roads They gave us courage behind a whiskey glass Behind a whiskey glass, they gave us time to pass High on a mountain there is a fountain It will not make us young, it will not make us young Well there's a new day, there is a new way Here come the 80's, here come the 80's
