Absent Minded
Grunge
Designer clothing was a problem
kids robbing other kids for fashion
television magazine scandal for a dollar
and the protest that everyone could belong
and the answer was grunge
im not sure if anyone knew back then what it meant to me
I didnt have to worry when i went to school
if i was wearing tommy hilfigger
Or ralph Lauren to fit in with the rich kids
i could wear my grungy baggy ripped up jeans
and just be me
Sex appeal of the proper holes in the proper spots
the uglier the clothes the more attention you got
does anyone remember all those kids before grunge got big
how obsessed they were
by wearing designer this designer that
and playing keeping up with the joneses and their friends
because of christmas and birthdays easter and halloween
I got this for christmas
and i got this and this for my birthday
you got nothing at all and here is my silver plate
i wear designer clothing
and look how cool and great i am for being a rich kid
who didnt earn a thing
Grunge came in
levelled everyone as equal
Tear holes in your fancy pants you spiled brats
its cool to belong
see how it feels to be the geek not allowed to rebel
Humble yourselves population
dress down
and bleach your shirts you kill for
for that soul your soo eager to sell
no one seems to remember the life lesson one fashion statement taught
how clothing made us feel inadequate and equal
how we did and did not belong
sepearated by status and it was shown by how we dressed
Grunge tore down the walls society had built around the little clicks
and let the children and teens just be instead
be creative have fun with your fashion
Grunge will be back
it has to return
because the walls will be built around the youth again
to seperate them from eachother
and there will be immature confusion understandably
and such high standards and tension
Grunge will be back
and our clothes will have holes and stains
and all those who didnt earn a thing
making others feel like they never belonged
can wear their fancy loser wear
while the rest learn a fashionable life lesson
that has to be
we will all belong together
release the tension of everyday
and just let ourselves be
and there you will find me
a king among grunge kings
a man that understands
what is happening to the generation
and waiting for the next big thing
:)mwahahahahahaha....they dont see the train comin!
