Lyrics
Class Of '93
VERSE 1:
Life was there for the taking
ten years ago today
Parties lined up all summer
then they?d all be on their way
Room covered in photographs
they remember they?d seen
way back when they were
the class of nineteen-ninety-three
CHORUS:
They didn?t see much further than
the weekend, back then
life wasn?t all that serious
What later appeared involved much more than
cheatin? your way to another B plus
Getting out on their own didn?t mean carefree
to the class of ?93
VERSE 2:
They?d all heard about
Jenny?s mom passin? away
And Eric?s wife packed up and left him
last New Year?s Day
Joe got a big promotion
with some dotcom company
Then charges of embezzlement
If only it was still?nineteen-ninety-three
BRIDGE:
Bein? faced with old dreams
takes its toll on self-esteem
But the Prozac generation
has grown up since graduation, oh oh
CHORUS:
They didn?t see much further than
the weekend, back then
life wasn?t all that serious
What later appeared involved much more than
cheatin? your way to another B plus
Getting out on their own didn?t mean carefree
And no one cares if you disagree
with life?s only two guarantees
(I guess we?re all part of)
The class of ?93
The class of ?93
Ain?t no guarantees?
