Bowling for Soup
2002
Jessica’s so burnt out, she’s filled with all this doubt
Adderall can’t shake the smile she learned to fake
Drowning in student debt
Wish that she could go back
Life was so simple then
Now what’s her age again?

Where’s the UGG boots and the tube tops?
And where is Paris telling everybody “that’s hot”?
When did flip phones become vintage?
Whatever happened to sidekicks, hit clips, my LimeWire had

Britney, Christina, way before Rihanna
There was Avril and Nelly and fear factor on NBC
Her two friends are Gen Z
They tell her that she’s cringey
‘Cause she still never outgrew 2002 (2002)

She’s played all the sims
Got an iPod filled with hits
Loved Britney with JT
Broke her heart when they called it quits
She still remembers when Toby was Spider-Man
And watching Kelly win but she wasn’t a Simon fan

Where’s the tracksuit branded Juicy?
And when did Megan Fox turn into a groupie?
When did Netflix become TV?
Whatever happened to chatrooms, mixtapes, on my iTunes was
Britney, Christina, way before Rihanna
There was Gordo and Lizzy and TRL on MTV
Her two friends are Gen Z
They tell her that she’s cringey
‘Cause she still never outgrew 2002 (2002)

She hates time, make it stop
When did Stacey’s mom become classic rock?
And when did Kanye go insane?
Please make this stop, stop, stop

And bring back Britney, Christina, way before Rihanna
There was Avril and Nelly and fear factor on NBC
Her two friends are Gen Z
They tell her that she’s cringey
‘Cause she still never outgrew (2002)

Britney, Christina, way before Rihanna
There was Gordo and Lizzy and TRL on MTV
Her two friends are Gen Z
They tell her that she’s cringey
