    Simple rules: Based on the song "1985" by Bowling for Soup, write your own lyrics about the year 1975, either how it affected you personally, those you know, or some ficticious JW.

    Have Fun!

    shakedown 1975,cool kids never have the time
    on a live wire right up off the street
    you and i should meet

    junebug skipping like a stone
    with the headlights pointed at the dawn
    we were sure we'd never see an endto it all

    and i don't even careto shake these zipper blues
    and we don't know
    just where our bones will rest
    to dust i guess
    forgotten and absorbedinto the earth below

    double cross the vacant and the bored
    they're not sure just what we have in the store
    morphine city slippin dues down to see
    that we don't even care as restless as we are

    we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
    and poured cement, lamented and assured
    to the lights and towns below
    faster than the speed of sound

    faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
    justine never knew the rules,
    hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
    no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you fake it

    to see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
    and we don't know just where our bones will rest
    to dust i guess
    forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
    the street heats the urgency of sound
    as you can see there's no one around

    Woohoohoo
    Woohoohoo

    Debbie just hit the tower
    At the final hour
    Got dunked at 17
    Became the pioneer queen
    Her dreams came upto nix
    January 1st 76
    Since then it's all a rife
    What happened to her life?

    She was gonna live forever
    She was gonna live in peace
    She was gonna see the day
    When this whole system ceased
    Her daily ministry
    Became the enemy
    Looks at her wasted life
    And nothing has been alright

    When the growth was still steady
    Back in days of Freddie
    There were demons in cartoons
    End was coming very soon
    The elders in "da twoof"
    They tell her that she's reproved
    Cause she's still preocupied
    With 19, 19, 1975

    Woohoohoo
    (1975)
    Woohoohoo

    She's read all the classics
    She knows every line
    'Great Teacher' 'Hapiness'
    Even 'Eternal Purpose'
    She cooked with no tin can
    Not a big soap opera fan
    Thought she'd get a hand
    On her hero Abraham

    Where's the scroll of life
    Made of sheepskin?
    And what's this talk about
    Blood made of fractions?
    When did the bible
    Become the watchtower?
    Whatever happened to
    19 14 (and Beth Sarim)

    When the growth was still steady
    Back in days of Freddie
    There were demons in cartoons
    End was coming very soon
    The elders in "da twoof"
    They tell her that she's reproved
    Cause she's still preocupied
    With 19, 19, 1975

    She hates Ted
    Make him stop
    When did oral sex
    Become something not?
    When did their backflips
    Become new light?
    Please make this
    Stop, stop STOP!

    When the growth was still steady
    Back in days of Freddie
    There were demons in cartoons
    End was coming very soon
    The elders in "da twoof"
    They tell her that she's reproved
    Cause she's still preocupied
    With 1975
