90s Kids

I.

We were there before, 

smartphones took control

Before everyone, 

was on-line all the time

Facebook was for friends, 

and what’s on their minds

Now we’re just on feeds, 

doomscrolling AI memes.

Chorus.

We are the 90s kids

Learned love from Taylor Swift

We kept the memories

No selfies, no reels

We’re now adulting

Work-life balancing

Age has dulled our sheen

We’re still sparkling.

II.

We remember when, 

things weren’t one click away

When we had to wait, 

for days before we played

We went out for friends, 

and talked face to face

Longing’s half the fun, 

savor it before it’s gone.

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge.

So nostalgic for the times

When we were brave and cool

When all that we had care for

Was who had crush on who

And lost were all the dreams

And friends on the way too

Got lost to the realities

Of life’s so cruel rules

So cruel rules…

(Repeat chorus)

Outro.

Still waiting for that 30s clarity

So sick of fourth life’s endless tragedies…
