The 80s

Why can't American movies from the 80s work now
Why can't we go down to the cinema to see a montage accompanied by a little bit of American heartbeat?
Why can't we feel a bit of yougoddagoforit?
Why can't we wistfully share a bit of teenage angst?

What's wrong with making the prom queen pregnant?
What's wrong with taking the class nerd in detention?

Is it because the guy who Rocky V fought died this week, of AIDS?
Is it because women just not allowed to.....  ....... feeeeel?

Why can't we have our emotional fallout accompanied by a little 80s rock?
Why can't we have heart?
Or Heart?

Anymore.
