so they sucked the life out of you

so now what the hell do you do

so your train went off of it's track

back when michael jackson was black



what ya gonna prove

how you gonna prove it

there's no need to waste your life

shatter and abuse it, babe

i'm talking about a time when a dimebag was a dime

no need to dwell upon the here and now, baby



- chorus -

let's pretend it's 1978; we're playing patty cake and baker's men

let's pretend the popsicles we ate all gave us stomach aches on our neighbor's lawn



so you called the chief of police

(this is the pig, this is the pig)

and told him what to do

call the zoo and the justice of peace

and told them what to do



sold your house alone

told your boss to screw it

bought a time machine

grab the wheel and do it, baby

back unto a time when a dimebag was a dime

no need to spend another moment here, baby



* repeat chorus *



hello operator please give me number nine

and if you disconnect me I'll kick your fat

behind the refrigerator there was a piece of glass

miss suzy sat upon it and broke her little

ask me no more questions, i'll tell you no more lies

the boys are in the bathroom zipping up their

flies are in the city and bee stings are our crutch

the boys and girls are necking and asking you just



what ya gonna prove

how you gonna prove it

there's no need to waste your life

shatter and abuse it, babe

i'm talking about a time when a dimebag was a dime

no need to dwell upon the here and now, baby



* repeat chorus 2x *
