about

An expansion on the theme from "Dreams We Never Could Achieve" but with 50% more '80s nostalgia included—nostalgia in the curmudgeonly "when I was your age" sense that baby boomers used to tell us the '60s were better.

lyrics

I love it on the subway
Everyone looks like they're dying
I love it on the subway
Everyone's so sick of trying
'Cause we tried
And we failed
This train has been derailed

And it's fucked up forever
Everyone's on the never-never

You can pray, you can plead
But Superman won't save you
You can turn on the Bat-signal
But Barack Obama can't save you

'Cause it's fucked up forever
Everyone's on the never-never

Where are the girls who listen to The Smiths
Or at least look like they would
This is what I miss
About the old days
And the old ways
Of bookstores and record shops
We kept it real
We kept it pure
We made mix-tapes
And we listened to The Cure
...Billy Bragg
...Dead Kennedys
...The Mary Chain
...And Fugazi

Now it's fucked up forever
Everyone's on the never-never
