Teenage Wasteland - Barenaked Ladies

No, we’re gonna do a bunch of new stuff tonight.

And, uh… But I’m gonna have

to warn you, most of it’s in German.

So, I hope you’ve all attended your German

classes in high school, because you’re required to take, I think,

it’s at least two languages, aren’t you?

In high school?

Yeah

Yes

Yes, two languages, and typing.

That’s all you need.

And you get a high school

diploma

Is woodshop a language?

No, woodshop falls under typing

Oh, okay.

This next song is called «99 Luftballons»

Ah 1, 2, a 1, 2, 3…

I first met Millie in art class in high school

With her short brown bob, she was better than Bateman’s best

I never thought I’d ever see a miracle

And who’d have thought it would be in an arcade?

Well she moved like an angel

And she spoke like a memory

And she smoked like a chimney

And she completed Dragon’s Lair on just one quarter

On just one quarter

On just one quarter

On just one quarter

I called her up, but she wasn’t home

I knew she was downstairs, but her dad didn’t like me

I never thought I’d see a miracle

I called her back in 10 minutes and disguised my voice

I spoke like an actor

And I moved like a burglar

Then I lied like a carpet

And I did a phony survey on her whole family

On her whole family

On her whole family

On her whole family

Nobody at school knew what I was trying to do

But right after art class, I made history

'Cause when you love someone

Yeah, and you don’t even know no one

She moved like an angel

She spoke like a memory

Then she moved to Alberta

I’m gonna visit her at grandma’s

Well, maybe next week

Yeah, maybe next week

Okay, maybe not next week

Maybe never

Maybe it doesn’t matter

Maybe it never did

It didn’t matter at all
