joman - i'm drunk in 1999 lyrics

verse 1

i’m drunk in 1999
i snuck some of my daddy’s wine
i’m playing silent hill and crying
cause the pixelated violence
has me slightly traumatized
we’re all so innocent and clueless
we think that y2k will make computers useless
on the news they’re asking why did clinton do this
think i’ll switch it to the simpsons they’re the coolest

verse 2

our whole aesthetic is tacky
so many polos and khakis
and all these old people yacking
about that wacky tobaccy
our phones are ringing and ringing
and modems beeping and screeching
and joseph lieberman preaching
boy, is he reaching and reaching

pre+chorus

but soon we’ll all be regretting
these cracks that seem to be spreading
to where the prophets were dreading
it looks like they are embedding
so deep into the foundation
of this delusional nation
we’re heading to devastation
but in the mean time i
i’m safe here because…
chorus

i’m drunk in 1999
soon i’ll be doing it
all the time
i’m drunk in 1999
i’m still clinging to safety cause…
i’m drunk in 1999
soon i’ll be doing it
all the time

verse 3

i’m playing golden eye and dying
from the split screen bullets flying
but at least i’m still alive
in real life
cause it’s the 90’s
it’s statistically unlikely
situations will arise
that jeopardize our precious lives
but the elders do not find these games amusing
their hands are trembling from the wars that we keep losing
or maybe it’s the benzos everybody’s using
i’m so oblivious and find it all confusing
pre+chorus

but amidst all the chatter
and the indifferent laughter
we sense the end of a chapter
and the before and the after
but we don’t know what disasters
we’ll be left with
when the end keeps ending
again and again

coda

and i’m never going to get past
1999
why would i want to

chorus

i’m drunk in 1999
soon i’ll be doing it
all the time
i’m drunk in 1999
soon i’ll be doing it
all the time
i’m drunk in 1999
reticulating splines
