2005 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Steve just hit the wall, he never had the balls
Takes one zyn a day, still listens to Coldplay
Calendar on the door says 2024
Can't afford his own land or all his streaming plans
[Pre-Chorus]
He was gonna be a skater, he was gonna be a punk
He was gonna go on cribs and show off all his junk
His countless DVDs are now the enemy
Looks at his current life and nothing has been alright
[Chorus]
Since Green Day, Nickelback, way before Doja Cat
There was Akon, 50 Cent, Mike Myers in that Kanye clip
When cameras had tripods, he still uses an iPod
'Cause he's still prеoccupied, two thousand, two thousand, 2005
[Verse 2]
He's seen all the classics, hе knows every script
King Kong, Goblet of Fire, and Revenge of the Sith
He rocked out to T.I., not a big Ed Sheeran guy
He knows every word when hearing Mr. Brightside
[Pre-Chorus]
Where's Guitar Hero? Tramp stamps and tribals?
Where did the winners go of American Idol?
And when did YouTube get advertisements?
Whatever happened to flip phones, flash games?
Steve just hit the wall, he never had the balls
Takes one zyn a day, still listens to Coldplay
Calendar on the door says 2024
Can't afford his own land or all his streaming plans
[Pre-Chorus]
He was gonna be a skater, he was gonna be a punk
He was gonna go on cribs and show off all his junk
His countless DVDs are now the enemy
Looks at his current life and nothing has been alright
[Chorus]
Since Green Day, Nickelback, way before Doja Cat
There was Akon, 50 Cent, Mike Myers in that Kanye clip
When cameras had tripods, he still uses an iPod
'Cause he's still prеoccupied, two thousand, two thousand, 2005
[Verse 2]
He's seen all the classics, hе knows every script
King Kong, Goblet of Fire, and Revenge of the Sith
He rocked out to T.I., not a big Ed Sheeran guy
He knows every word when hearing Mr. Brightside
[Pre-Chorus]
Where's Guitar Hero? Tramp stamps and tribals?
Where did the winners go of American Idol?
And when did YouTube get advertisements?
Whatever happened to flip phones, flash games?
[Chorus]
On the radio was Green Day, Nickelback, way before Doja Cat
There was Akon, 50 Cent, Mike Myers in that Kanye clip
When cameras had tripods, he still uses an iPod
'Cause he's still preoccupied, two thousand, two thousand, 2005
[Bridge]
He hates time, make it stop
When did Weezer become alternative pop?
Still wears a shirt that says, "Vote for Pedro"
Please make this stop, stop, STOP!
[Chorus]
And bring back Green Day, Nickelback, way before Doja Cat
There was Akon, 50 Cent, Mike Myers in that Kanye clip
When cameras had tripods, he still uses an iPod
'Cause he's still preoccupied, 2005
Green Day, Nickelback, way before Doja Cat
There was Akon, 50 Cent, Mike Myers in that Kanye clip
When cameras had tripods, he still uses an iPod
'Cause he's still preoccupied, two thousand, two thousand, 2005
On the radio was Green Day, Nickelback, way before Doja Cat
There was Akon, 50 Cent, Mike Myers in that Kanye clip
When cameras had tripods, he still uses an iPod
'Cause he's still preoccupied, two thousand, two thousand, 2005
[Bridge]
He hates time, make it stop
When did Weezer become alternative pop?
Still wears a shirt that says, "Vote for Pedro"
Please make this stop, stop, STOP!
[Chorus]
And bring back Green Day, Nickelback, way before Doja Cat
There was Akon, 50 Cent, Mike Myers in that Kanye clip
When cameras had tripods, he still uses an iPod
'Cause he's still preoccupied, 2005
Green Day, Nickelback, way before Doja Cat
There was Akon, 50 Cent, Mike Myers in that Kanye clip
When cameras had tripods, he still uses an iPod
'Cause he's still preoccupied, two thousand, two thousand, 2005
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
According to Billy Cobb, this version was envisioned when someone pointed out that the time gap between 1985 and Bowling For Soup’s cover of the song is the same distance as 2005 and 2024, when this version was published. Cobb sought to create the song that would be written had the original been written now with that time frame.
Cobb also stated in the description for this song’s video that making it gave him a bit of a crisis, stating “2005 wasn’t really that long ago but also it kind of is and the world is very similar but also it’s very much not.”
