In Ten Years Lyrics by H.P. Mendoza

Everything is Pop

2004

The year is 1988, I just bought King's Quest IV
To play on my PC, in ten years I’ll be cool
Now I have Zak McCracken, I've got my hint book too
God damn, it's so low-res, in ten years I’ll be cool
I've got 640k on my new Tandy 1000 and I
Don't have to switch I've got dual floppy drives
And I just got this thing that they call a Sound Blaster
It's like a larger AdLib card but it's still PCI
I'm going to the Roxie to see a foreign film
Some film called Akira, in ten years I'll be cool
The Robotech convention, I’m hanging out with Joe
We see Carl Macek live, in ten years I’ll be cool
I've got evеry veritech and the SDF-1 that I
Got in southеrn Cali to see Auntie Eleanore
And I even have a Cyclone that transforms from Mospeada
That I got at a convention ’cause they don't sell it in stores
I'm hanging out with Bobby, he likes Lord of the Rings
Says they should make a movie...
...live action? In your wildest dreams!
In ten years, I'll be cool
He has my old Trash 80, we’re playing Daggorath
We save our games on tape, in ten years I'll be cool
I've got stacks upon stacks of my Garbage Pail Kids
And I separate the duplicates and pair up all the twins
And I swear that my first issue of DC comics Wasteland
Will make me rich someday when I decide to turn it in
I never had Nintendo, my Master System's cool
My 3D goggles rock, in ten years I'll be cool
I've got my black jean jacket, I've got my British Knights
My Trapper Keeper rocks, in ten years I'll be cool
In ten years, I'll be cool
By then, video games will look almost as good as The Last Starfighter
In ten years, I'll be cool
Computers will go as fast as...a HUNDRED megahertz!
In ten years, I'll be cool
They'll make a Dungeons and Dragons movie that'll blow away the cartoon
In ten years, I'll be cool
When we grow up, they're FINALLY gonna make an Aliens versus Predator movie. And they'll hire James Cameron and James McTiernan to co-direct. And it will be the pinnacle of science fiction filmmaking
In ten years, I'll be cool
When we grow up, laserdiscs will be the standard way to watch movies. And all discs will be CAV and all players will have auto-reverse
