Ode To The 90s
It was a time that I will never forget,
a time of grunge, flannel, and war;
A War on authority, a war on what we knew;
Electric colors and synthesizers are gone;
I remember the death of hair metal,
and the birth of a much grittier truth;
Fangs were so easy to hide in ‘85,
yet it’s 1993 that left it’s mark on me;
Less acceptable distractions from ‘real’
made concealment a much tighter trick;
Oh 90’s energy and its desire to explode,
to create revolution kick down every door;
Although viewed by some as a renaissance,
this decade to me felt more like a demise;
A demise of decadence, a demise of phony;
It’s been a century now, things do change;
I’ve survived death many ways, many times;
Living through the 90’s I will never forget.
