Last Dance

Army Of Freshmen
(album: Beg, Borrow, Steal)

every time my parents were gone
they´d hire this baby sitter named Dawn
I´d stay up late, watch MTV
opened up a whole new world to me
she always used to say that ever Friday
the whole high school would go, let´s go
over to the school´s gymnasium to bask in the rocknroll
there were mullets, heshers, skaters, jocks
new wave band geek brains
they´d all get together, dance forever
cause the music made them the same

SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
BEFORE I PULL THE PLUG WOULD YOU SET ME FREE
MY LIFE SUCKS IT´S NOT THE ONE I SEE ON MTV, YEAH

I grew up, Dawn got knocked up, MTV got huge
by the time it was my turn to rock and roll
I realized we were used
cause the fable on the cable made it able for the label
turn the table on the music scene
when you´re just 13 what the hell´s that mean
how are you supposed to know
mullets, heshers, skaters, jocks
punk rock kids with chains
they couldn´t stay together and dance forever
money made the music change

SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
BEFORE I PULL THE PLUG WOULD YOU SET ME FREE
MY LIFE SUCKS IT´S NOT THE ONE I SEE ON MTV

it was the old rock and roll under brand new control
and a holy war was waged
but the billions of civilians they forgot who were the villains
and the underdog died on stage

I want my MTV, yeah, yeah
but don´t it want me
I want my MTV but it´ don´t want me, yeah

SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
BEFORE I FALL APART WOULD YOU SET ME FREE
I STILL KNOW THE WAY THAT WE COULD
SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
BEFORE I PULL THE PLUG WOULD YOU SET ME FREE
THE REAL WORLD SUCKS IT´S NOT THE ONE I SEE ON MTV
THE ONE I SEE ON MTV, YEAH
