I saw T-2 at least eight times
Had the Ninja Turtles memorized
And I know the words to all the
Spice Girls songs (yeah)

Saw the Rodney King riot out in L.A.
I saw the murder trial with ol' O.J.
And Michael Jackson's wedding day
Didn't last too long

I was a kid when Selena died
And my sister cried

It was nineteen ninety-somethin'
And the world that I grew up in
Cross Colours and high-top fades
Tight rolls and cassette tapes
Lookin' back now I can see me
Oh man, did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh it was nineteen ninety-somethin'

It was the dawning of a new decade
DVDs replaced the video-tape
World was afraid that Y2K would shut things off

American Idol's on the tube
First time, Kelly, second time, Rube
We all saw Janet Jackson's boob
When her bra came off

The Twin Towers fell from the sky
And the whole world cried

T'was the year two thousand-something
And the world that we all live in
Camera-phones and George Bush rants
Survivor and new boybands
And lookin' back now I can see me
Oh man, were those days easy
And I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
But now the year's two thousand-something

Now I've got a screen that has HD-TV
Gotta guard my identity
And I wish
Sometimes

It was nineteen ninety-somethin'
And the world that I grew up in
Cross Colours and high-top fades
Tight rolls and cassette tapes
Lookin' back now I can see me
Oh man, did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh it was nineteen ninety-somethin'
Nineteen ninety-something
Oh, it was nineteen somethin'.
