Crude Polygonal Space Fighters Lyrics

there was a cola war
some pop star blew his head off
nobody really cared
we were too busy playing with
our futuristic home video game system
it was 1989
there was a limited skirmish
in the middle-east
oil fires burned like 8-bit action
heavy metal middle school
video games are better than girls
better yet, video games are better
than your first girlfriend
she breathed heavily through her mouth
during your first french kiss
high school
we accidentally discovered beer, pot, & lsd
while looking for a way
to quell our endless boredom
the drugs amplified the beauty of the
16 bit "mode 7" color palette &
crude pologonal space fighters
casual sex with an honor-roll student
it's 1994
welcome to community college
here you find no shortage of
grass-roots activism or alcohol poisioning
& you quickly learn that less is, in fact, more
