lyrics

do you really think you're ready for the 80s?
If so then I'll need a word with you
everyone here is ready for the 1980s
everyone here that is except for you

so turn around, sit back down
we'll call your number when it's time to get down
in the meantime have a look at yourself
did you mistake yourself for somebody else?

I think I'm ready (you're not ready)
ready for the 80s (oh no)
I said I really think I'm ready (you're not ready)
I'm ready for the 80s (oh no)

I'm a man out of place, a man out of time
just a bystander at the scene of the rhyme
about another man, no stranger he
to a life rife with indignity
well he jumped to the left, he jumped to the right
shoulda kept jumpin' till he's out of sight
'cause his lines are weak and his hands are unsteady
take one look at him and you'll know he's not ready

please make haste the bus is getting ready to go
climb on board and make your feelings known
as soon we depart so soon we'll arrive, oh yeah
turn up your radio and prove you're still alive

then turn around, sit back down
we'll call your number when it's time to get down
in the meantime have a look at yourself
did you mistake yourself for somebody else?
