Ethan AI Reilly - Millennials

"Millennials" Lyrics [verse 1] We're the generation that never grew old Back when MySpace and Facebook wasn't sold Raised on the Internet without a care And C.R.T. TV screens we used to share I was given a trophy for being a soccer loser Pokemon over Digimon as a pocket monster chooser Was told to be put on Ritalin from careless adults My report card never ended with good results [pre-chorus] My favorite boy band wasn't Backstreet Boys or N'Sync It was Savage Garden because they made me think I preferred M2M over Spice Girls or Britney Spears How their music has grown on me throughout the years [chorus] We did the macarena Across every stadium arena Napster stole CD sales Our MP3s didn't have details Post-grunge on the radio Before hip-hop stole the show After adult pop wasn't a bore Instant classics on VH1s core Sometimes our CDs would skip And swears would be snipped But the music landscape had changed And the charts were rearranged To fit a new era Back when I listened to Eric Serra [verse 2] Every generation of console graphics improved We chose games at Blockbuster that our parents approved Jerry Springer and Ricki Lake bleeped swears were free And good cartoons were on cable and satellite TV Pagers and Tivo were snippets of a new age iPods, DVR and DVD players were all the rage I was told that all of this would just be a fad That turned out to be wrong and I was quite glad [pre-chorus] My favorite boy band wasn't Backstreet Boys or N'Sync It was Savage Garden because they made me think I preferred M2M over Spice Girls or Britney Spears How their music has grown on me throughout the years [chorus] We did the macarena Across every stadium arena Napster stole CD sales Our MP3s didn't have details Post-grunge on the radio Before hip-hop stole the show After adult pop wasn't a bore Instant classics on VH1s core Sometimes our CDs would skip And swears would be snipped But the music landscape had changed And the charts were rearranged To fit a new era Back when I listened to Eric Serra [bridge] Before social media, smartphones and broadband it required Being on chat rooms and forums all night made me quite tired We played Unreal Tournament and Star Wars Galaxies together And tied up the phone lines in dial-up A.O.L. tether [pre-chorus] My favorite boy band wasn't Backstreet Boys or N'Sync It was Savage Garden because they made me think I preferred M2M over Spice Girls or Britney Spears How their music has grown on me throughout the years [chorus] We did the macarena Across every stadium arena Napster stole CD sales Our MP3s didn't have details Post-grunge on the radio Before hip-hop stole the show After adult pop wasn't a bore Instant classics on VH1s core Sometimes our CDs would skip And swears would be snipped But the music landscape had changed And the charts were rearranged To fit a new era Back when I listened to Eric Serra [outro] For we are Millennials and our parents understood Grew up far from the city to be away from the hood Because we're the generation that never grew old And stayed home from school when we got the common cold Now half of us still live in our mom's basement And stayed virgins because of Internet addiction displacement
