Prime Time Lives

(Verse)
Flicker of blue light in my veins,
Cereal dust and nicotine through my brain,
Basement kingdom, peeling paint,
Mom’s voice becomes faint,
Disney afternoon at 3 P.M,
Cartoon gods and in-betweens,
Homework buried under glow,
Channel surf and let it go.

(Pre-Chorus)
Snowstorm screen,
Teenage dream—

(Chorus)
We were raised on Muppet rhymes,
Killing time with South Park lines,
Crying with Party of five,
Wishing we went to Bayside high,
Watching Dennis on NYPD blue,
Next on the X-Files, we hadn’t a clue,

(Verse 2)
Pee Wee had a talking chair,
Step by step we didn’t care,
Dinosaurs and puppet lies,
TGIF and sugar highs.
We were wired to Friends reruns late,
Learning nothing from Seinfeld fate,
The Simpsons taught us how to behave,
Waiting for Shaggy to be brave 

(Chorus)
We were raised on Muppet rhymes,
Killing time with South Park lines,
Crying with Party of five,
Wishing we went to Bayside high,
Watching Dennis on NYPD blue,
Next on the X-Files, we hadn’t a clue,

(Verse)
Teen rebellion in Beverly Hills, 
Laughing with Jack on Grace and Will,
Home Improvement was no joke,
While Sam Malone mixed Rum with Coke
Vampire hearts in Sunnydale,
Nickelodeon slime and snail mail.

(Chorus)
We were raised on Muppet rhymes,
Killing time with South Park lines,
Crying with Party of five,
Wishing we went to Bayside high,
Watching Dennis on NYPD blue,
Next on the X-Files, we hadn’t a clue,

(Chorus)
We were raised on Muppet rhymes,
Killing time with South Park lines,
Crying with Party of five,
Wishing we went to Bayside high,
Watching Dennis on NYPD blue,
Next on the X-Files, we hadn’t a clue,

High tempo 90s grunge-alternative rock with heavy distortion guitar and feedback and gritty, rough scratchy male vocal
