It was 1984
and video just killed my radio
Mr. MTV bludgeoned mystery
We shoulda seen this coming
So I'm taking all my posters down
'cause I can't keep track
of all these faces
How do we set the bar?
When everyone's a star?
This information overload is poison
And all of my idols are dead
My idols are dead
Digital umbilical
the bottlenecking ones and zeroes
are drowning out the songs of heroes
and if I text you this song
would you sing along?
(say you'd sing along)
I'm tearing all my posters down
'cause I can't keep track
of all these changes
How do we set the bar?
When everyone's a star?
This information overload is poison
And all of my idols are dead
My idols are dead
Do do do, do do, do do
doobie doobie do
Do do, doobie do do do
doobie do do do
doobie doobie do do do
doobie do do do
doobie do do do
doobie doobie do
If I text you this song
would you sing along?
(say you'd sing along)
Tearing all my posters down
'cause I can't keep track
of all these choices
How do we set the bar?
When everyone's a star?
This information overload is poison
And all of my idols are dead
1984
2.0 just killed my video
