Surviving all through the 80s © PETER ANDERSSON A MUSIC PARODY BASED ON: "ACCEPTABLE IN THE 80S" BY: CALVIN HARRIS BONUS QUOTE: "It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value." STEPHEN HAWKING		When Pirate Party leader Rick Falkvinge was asked why he's opposing Western Civilization Governments increasing snooping into ordinary citizens' lifes, storage of every e-mail sent, recording of every cell phone called and outsourcing police work to unaccountable private businesses, he said "I survived the 80s, they can't scare me with terrorism". Maybe you need to have been there during those last years of the cold war and mutually assured destruction to fully appreciate the brilliant point he was making with that short answer, but I was, so here's a song about it. We were surviving all through the 80s We were surviving the cold war times We were surviving all through the 80s We were surviving the cold war grime I got news for you We weren't killed in the 80s, the 80s I got news for you We weren't shot in the 80s, the 80s I got news for you We weren't bombed in the 80s, the 80s I got news for you We weren't nuked in the 80s Yeah We had integrity in the 80s Yet there was Arafat at the time We had integrity in the 80s Yet there was Gorbatjov on the line I got news for you We had peace in the 80s, the 80s I got news for you We had jobs in the 80s, the 80s I got news for you We had cash in the 80s, the 80s I got news for you We did fine in the 80s Yeah We were surviving all through the 80s We were surviving the cold war grime We were surviving all through the 80s We were surviving the cold war times © Peter Andersson 2010
