Lyrics
We used to know, we used to know,
How far we'd stay and how far we'd go.
We used to say, we used to say,
We'd never go and we would always stay.
Now everybody wants to be a millionaire,
It costs so much to care,
Take me back to '84.
We used to be, we used to be,
Under your thumb but still feeling free.
And we had so much to do,
Just hating you.
Now everybody wants to be a millionaire,
It costs so much to care,
Take me back to '84.
