Generation MTV

Go on admit it…  The name is the coolest generation distinction name ever.
See our claim to fame, that's right “Generation MTV”,

Once hurled as an insult by crusty old Codgers,

Behind their fancy oak desk with their fancy Bick ball point pens,

They didn’t understand us… We were the “Big Scarrrry Unknown”

Now our negative connotation became our badge of honor.

TV?  How can those kids sit there and watch all that loud crazy…

“Look at there, Look at that,

That ain’t music,

That’s just somethin’ playin’ on the MTV.”

Then there was a new album by Micheal…Thriller!

"WHOO! Don't try to escape it.  You cant hide…

You’re just a Thriller…" 
You know you wanna sing out with it.  WOO, HOO!

If you were a teenager in 1984 then you are the MTV Generation…

Damn those were the days…  Rolling it up and Takin’ a Ride!

Hell yeah, when "Rock On" became "Party On"  

All because Bill and Ted believed in all of US!

We showed them…  Hell we showed them with Purchasing Power… 

Ya’ll ain’t seen nothing yet, wait until they see how we flash the cash at the mall.

Mom and Pops you may have been the Baby Boomers

But thanks to you laying your wallets and purses around the house, 
We are the New American Consumers, cause “I Seen It On The MTV”

There’s the new parachute pants, gotta get those.

See we were awesome…  All future generation should bow down to us.

Just like Garth, say it… You’re not worthy… You’re not worthy.

See thanks to us, the media absolutely knows how to target you,

That’s right, we taught the media that trick, you who are the youth of tomorrow.

We are the proven success of teenagers succumbing crap sold as fashion. 

We showed you how to invent new music, and slang terms…

Cause, Hallelujah the Lord knows, that was never done before the MTV.

That's right all us rebellious MTV kids, we did it all.

There are no Rebels before us, there are no Rebels after us…

You are all just jealous of our now, given name.

And you’ll a be even more jealous real soon,

Especially...  When we start to get our Social Security checks.
