You're the one who started it out
Without you they'd all be lost
The only one to bleach your hair
The only one to just not care
Looking like you're from another time
Living like you're from 79
You're the brand new thing
You're the brand new thing
You're the brand new thing
Everything I know I learned from you
You taught me what not to do
Everyone they know your name
You get by faking your fame
Looking like you're from another time
Living like you're from 79
Living like you're from another time
You wish you were from 79
You're the brand new thing
You're the brand new thing
You're the brand new thing
Looking like you're from another time
Looking like you're from 79
Everything I know I learned from you
You taught me what not to do
