every time my parents were gone
|
they’d hire this baby sitter named Dawn
|
I’d stay up late, watch MTV
|
opened up a whole new world to me
|
she always used to say that ever Friday
|
the whole high school would go, let’s go
|
over to the school’s gymnasium to bask in the rocknroll
|
there were mullets, heshers, skaters, jocks
|
new wave band geek brains
|
they’d all get together, dance forever
|
cause the music made them the same
|
|
SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
|
BEFORE I PULL THE PLUG WOULD YOU SET ME FREE
|
MY LIFE SUCKS IT’S NOT THE ONE I SEE ON MTV, YEAH
|
|
I grew up, Dawn got knocked up, MTV got huge
|
by the time it was my turn to rock and roll
|
I realized we were used
|
cause the fable on the cable made it able for the label
|
turn the table on the music scene
|
when you’re just 13 what the hell’s that mean
|
how are you supposed to know
|
mullets, heshers, skaters, jocks
|
punk rock kids with chains
|
they couldn’t stay together and dance forever
|
money made the music change
|
|
SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
|
BEFORE I PULL THE PLUG WOULD YOU SET ME FREE
|
MY LIFE SUCKS IT’S NOT THE ONE I SEE ON MTV
|
|
it was the old rock and roll under brand new control
|
and a holy war was waged
|
but the billions of civilians they forgot who were the villains
|
and the underdog died on stage
|
|
I want my MTV, yeah, yeah
|
but don’t it want me
|
I want my MTV but it’ don’t want me, yeah
|
|
SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
|
BEFORE I FALL APART WOULD YOU SET ME FREE
|
I STILL KNOW THE WAY THAT WE COULD
|
SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
|
BEFORE I PULL THE PLUG WOULD YOU SET ME FREE
|
THE REAL WORLD SUCKS IT’S NOT THE ONE I SEE ON MTV
|
THE ONE I SEE ON MTV, YEAH
|
