Ain’t no love anymore,

Ain’t no fun anymore,

Cuz if you don’t agree with me, then there’s the door.

People used to hang together,

they wuz birds of a feather.

But now everyone’s alone,

hangin’ out with just their phone.

And people ain’t so great.

They’re just all filled up with hate.

They see other people as just Tinder pics to rate.

I really, really miss the 80’s,

when all the cool gents and ladies,

would just hang out and chill

or go cruising for a thrill,

with cool movies on our mind

in the vid stores we would find

the tapes that would say…Be Kind, Rewind.

I’d go out with a homie,

He’d have good times to show me.

We’d laugh and we’d talk,

Our lives really walked the walk.

But now there’s nobody there,

Doesn’t anybody care?

What’s happened to my world?

It’s like reality’s unfurled.

Now the warmth has all turned to static.

Everything is on automatic.

Guess the algorithm’s won,

What happened to life’s fun?

I really, really miss the 80’s,

when all the cool gents and ladies,

I miss ridin’ BMX bikes,
hangin’ out under the streetlights.
I miss arcades on Friday nights,
buttons glowin’ crazy bright.
I miss friends just droppin’ by,
no “text me first,” no reasons why.

Sing-along with MTV,

I’m there for you and you for me.

I miss when talks were heart-to-heart,
when every hangout felt like art.
When we could say what hurt inside
and trust our friends were on our side.

Now folks just scream on screens,

How did these people get so mean?

Why is there hate up in the air?

It’s so much more than I can bear.

Now every word feels loaded,
every bond feels corroded…
I just want that simple truth again—
the kind we used to say as friends.
