I don't wanna act like it's still 2004
Nobody cares how many MySpace friends you have anymore
We've got houses, jobs and kids
I don't care if you're cool
You should've left all that behind when we left school
You're pushing 40 and I'm even further over that line
I don't want to reminisce so much about a long-passed time
When we thought that we were legends but it's possible, maybe
That a lot of things we did then were decidedly shady
A lot of stuff I said and did back then wasn't really ok
And I can blame it on my youth but I won't do that shit today
Putting people onto pedestals they never deserved
Based on the fondest memories you've selectively reserved
They're just people, and most of us were dicks
Yeah we had fun, and it was great, but a lot of it was shit
But you don't want to remember that do you
Well you might forget that but I choose not to

It's not 2004
Those Years are gone, they're no more
Nostalgia's blinded you
From seeing what's behind the next door
A wealth of opportunity, a taste of something new
You've listened to the same bands since 2002
I'm sick of the pressure, like it's criminal
To spend my evenings doing something new and original

I've watched this scene grow from nothing
I watched it explode
Oversaturated to the point
That I watched it implode
I've seen success and I've seen failure
And it's always the same
Thing at the centre of the story when
They're looking for blame
Trying to relive your youth
Recreating the past
Instead of living in the present
Oh it never lasts
Nostalgia's great but it's time for something new
There's a fucking awesome scene already right in front of you
Like when a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears
There's been shows on this whole time
You just haven't been here
Now I'm not judging you, don't get me wrong
We've all been growing up, living our lives, and moving on
You've come back once and you think saved then scene
But in last the decade, where have you been
Well put on your best clothes and then you'll make us see
Once you've put the kids to bed and had a cup of tea

It's not 2004
Those Years are gone, they're no more
Nostalgia's blinded you
From seeing what's behind the next door
A wealth of opportunity, a taste of something new
You've listened to the same bands since 2002
I'm sick of the pressure, like it's criminal
To spend my evenings doing something new and original

You raise yourself from the dead like zombies
Coming back to reclaim your former glories
Expecting everything and everyone to be the same
But time has moved on but you haven't changed
You can't revive it because it's never been dead
I only have one thing I want to get through your head
Your Wonder Years are fucking dead and gone
It's time to learn some new songs

It's not 2004
Those Years are gone, they're no more
Nostalgia's blinded you
From seeing what's behind the next door
A wealth of opportunity, a taste of something new
You've listened to the same bands since 2002
I'm sick of the pressure, like it's criminal
To spend my evenings doing something new and original
It's not 2004
Those Years are gone, they're no more
Nostalgia's blinded you
From seeing what's behind the next door
A wealth of opportunity, a taste of something new
You've listened to the same bands since 2002
I'm sick of the pressure, like it's criminal
To spend my evenings doing something new and original
