In the year when your bicycle broke, broke
You were crying in the yard, yard
But the world was a glorious game, game
New adventures stole your heart. heart

It will come, it will go, go
But you hold on to what you know, know

You play your part, part
You play your part, part
You only full for what you really want to. to

In the year when the future was lost, lost
You were fighting in the class, class
Headed west with your wits and snarl, your snarl
Left your parents in the past, past
'78
’78 was the year you explored, explored
Tore your clothes and shaved your head, head
Joined a band with a broken down van, van
Thought your life was really swell. swell

It will come, it will go, go
But you hold on to what you know, know

You play your part, part
You play your part, part
You only full for what you really want to, to
You only full for what you really want to. to

Save it all, save it all, all
Save it all and want it, wipe your tears away, away
Save it all, save it all, all
Save it all and want it, wipe those tears, tears

It has gone, it has gone, gone
But you hold on to what you know, know

You play your part, part
You play your part, part
You only full for what you really want to, to

You play your part, part
You only full for what you really
Full for what you really
Full for what you really want to. to
