lyrics

I picked up a box of stuff from my parents’ house
I found some blue jeans and some shirts I thought I threw out
Under some family photos, you’ll never guess what I saw
It was the very first clear jewel case that I ever bought

So, on my way home I put some ‘Green Day’ on…

My grandpa got vinyl, my mama got tape
But I was born, bred and raised on these round silver plates
You know, it’s funny how much has changed
On the music scene

We’ve heard ‘em sing about radios in their cars
And then how video killed the radio star
And when the whole world stopped
How they blamed it on MTV
This disc got me through my teens
But they don’t sing about CDs

As soon as I hit my driveway, I took ‘em out
I dug out an old stereo, turned it up real loud
And then one by one I watched all my favourite bands turn
Even flicked through the books
Just to sing along with every word

When ‘The Killers’ were done, I put some ‘Nickelback’ on…

Chorus

You don’t have to flip them over to enjoy the ride

Chorus

‘Man, I love that CD!
Ha! What’s that? Journey?’
