Nintendo ‘08 Lyrics

Another day, caught between a phase and craze

Got a style on lock, running low on stock

Got a hype that popped, and I'm paving the way

Way back to the times of the greats

Before the youth ran off when they got pissed off

Then flew offshore for a life in the States

In '08, do you remember '08?

When the banks went bust and betrayed the trust

Of the folks who worked and lived day to day

Can't complain, sure, I was only a nipper

Only focused on what order I would get in the chipper

While me auld lad stayed in, destroying his liver

The gaff bitter as I played Nintendo Wii with me sister

You don't remember? (oh)

Well, let me tell ya (oh)

There's no change

And there's another wave on the way

You don't remember? (oh)

Well, let me tell ya (oh)

There's no change

And there's another wave on the way

Well, ain't it funny?

These days just cost so much money

Tryna pay the rent without a rumble in me tummy

It'd be nice if they raised my wage

But working on a shit pay slowly fills the rage

Gotta face the facts, if you wanna get it goin'

If we wanna get the stacks

How to prosper on what little is offered

'Till the people get pissed off, and it's all we got, yeah

It's all we got, yeah

While me auld lad stayed in, destroying his liver

The gaff bitter as I played Nintendo Wii with me sister

You don't remember? (oh)

Well, let me tell ya (oh)

There's no change

And there's another wave on the way

You don't remember? (oh)

Well, let me tell ya (oh)

There's no change

And there's another wave on the way

Let me tell you how all this started

Decimation, next-level obliteration

Turning into hotels and rubble what used to be a nation

As our government races for financial compensation

They're rich, we're broke, economic ideation

Austerity imposed, wage theft fixation

Leo's on balloons battling inflation

Daddy said no more ski vacations

You don't remember? (oh)

Well, let me tell ya (oh)

There's no change

And there's another wave on the way

You don't remember? (oh)

Well, let me tell ya (oh)

There's no change

And there's another wave on the way

And there's another wave on the way

And there's another wave on the way

And there's another wave on the way
