Born in the 70s Livin in the 50s by The Jackalopes Lyrics

(verse1)
Happy  Days and Sha-Na-Na
Red  lipstick and bullet bras
TV reruns without pause
Of Natalie and James without a cause
I  cried the day that Elvis died
And  Brando's where I learned 'bout pride
And Grease was the word all across the land
And  Jayne Mansfield was the palm of my hand
(chorus)
And what's a boy to do?
I'm livin' in the 50's here with you
My  70's are a blur of memories
About the 50's
(verse2)
Missed the 60's but I don't care
I didn't have to deal with all that hair
The drugs were great but that's OK
Burroughs did 'em better in the 50's anyway!
When the 80's came I was still a kid
And look at what the Cramps and the Stray Cats did
The Outsiders, Rumble Fish and Stand By Me
What the hell was I supposed to be?!
(repeat chorus)
(verse3)
As I got a little older I tried and tried
I grew my hair, got drunk and high
But woe is me to my surprise
A hood is just a greaser in disguise
So this is how the story goes
I'm livin' in the 50's with a ring in my nose
A victim of society
But a man's gotta be what a man's gotta be!
(repeat chorus)
