Childhood Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Windows 95 and Windows 98
So terrible they made me wanna castrate Bill Gates fo' shizzle
Playing some Nintendo 64
Mario stomping on a Goomba in an open world, SCORE! is high
Cause I used to be good at that shit
Now I hardly find time to get my hit of pure Nintendo pleasure
I do it at my leisure, the games of that era are my greatest treasure

[Verse 2]
The '90s saw the dawn of the World Wide Web
Ushering in a wave of change unimagined
Instead of communicating through phone or text
Suddenly MSN and INQ mixed it up a tad
Feeling sad blue or lonely?
Get onto the web and it feels damn homely
Sure, you only go at 56k
And the best rates is only at night, not day

[Verse 3]
The dial-up noise was louder than a foghorn
Good luck with your late-night browsing for porn
You'll be met with your parents' scorn
So it's better to resort to the old-style printed form
And now I feel torn, Neopets or Super Mario?
Casual gaming filling up all my time, yo!
And to fuel the fire, I had a RealArcade GamePass
Filling me up like the sweet molasses
[Verse 4]
It's a fine damn era, Y2K and a DVD player
Didn't take off until the early naughties
Idiots thought that a bug would cause casualties
Mobile phones are getting smaller and smaller
While the mobile bill be getting taller and taller
Because you need that shit when your kid's online
Can't talk landline when it's browsing time

[Verse 5]
Macs were unpopular but stylish, PowerPC
Nobody gonna fuck with old Stevie
Didn't get a big break till '01 with the first iPod
Oh, the money it spun,
treated like a God thy will be done
Cult leader fatter than he was before he was gone, R.I.P
The iMac was a slick piece of design
Colors so bright and the screen so fine

[Verse 6]
Well not really, never liked CRT
Resolution so low it baffles me
How we could have dealt with that
Given how huge we can have it now
Hard drive space, all up in your face
My first computer had 6GB at the time
I can't believe how titchy that is
Got that shitty processor
Punch and fizz, boom, pow oh!
[Verse 7]
Pokemon was introduced
Collectin monsters, cards, they were on the loose
I got beat up over a rare shiny at school
Headteacher had to ban them, wasn't cool with me

But oh well, I had a GameBoy Camera
Taking pictures, printing with my GameBoy Printer
Flyest shit ever, interface so random
Had lots of fun in the era of pre-man-dom

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
