20th Century Kids Lyrics by Chanel Yates

2021

[Verse 1]
Every Friday, drive the dame way
Same high school kids, they never change
Past the old church where I grew up
By the river I knew what love was
And all the CDs, Mariah Carey
Empty bottles that were left on the concrete
I guess I need a hot tub time machine to go back
[Pre-Chorus]
To kissing all our posters of our favorite bands
Out in the streets until we got called in
When we were young, dumb and free
Mom did our dirty laundry
Just like in the movies
[Chorus]
Hey, I think that the world has changed
A lot, not just a little bit
Hey, maybe since we all became
Someone on the internet
We were the 20th century kids
We didn't do it for the internet
[Verse 2]
It was easy living back then
No money drama, no money to spend
Calling your friends on a flip phone
What happened to the toys in the cereal?
When did we get so consumed
In the likes on our photos? Not cool
So lost in the algorithm, take me back
When we thought true love would last
[Pre-Chorus]
And the world felt big before society
Made me feel pain and know anxiety
When we were young, dumb and free
Mom did our dirty laundry
Just like in the movies
[Chorus]
Hey, I think that the world has changed
A lot, not just a little bit
Hey, maybe since we all became
Someone on the internet
We were the 20th century kids
We didn't do it for the internet
Hey, I think that the world has changed
A lot, not just a little bit
Hey, maybe since we all became
Someone on the internet
We were the 20th century kids
Lighting up our candy cigarettes
We didn't do it for the internet
[Outro]
No, not for the internet
Ayy
We were the 20th century kids
We didn't do it for the internet
No, not for the internet
