When I was young I used to turn up the bass and
Rock out to Billy Jean and Thriller in my basement
When Michael Jackson was a pop sensation
Every second song on the radio station
Remember Axl telling us to have patience
And records sold without any affiliation
When William Hung and music still had no relation
Someone tell Janet, bring back the rhythm nation
No gloves, no zipper coats
No more yellow submarines or kokomos
If we could ask Luther Vandross, I bet he'd wonder the same
Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And MTV trading music for acting
Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
And there's a million other people with a lot on their minds
But for me I'm not the type to let a good thing die
If we could bring The Beatles back to rock it one more time
We could turn this mess around one beat at a time
When I was young I used to turn up my headphones
Flip through the pages of the Rolling Stones
I used to turn it up on my drive home
With McJagur singing "It's Only Rock n' Roll"
No gloves, no zipper coats
Just rockstars eating their filet mignon
Where did Van Halen put guitar solo's?
I bet they'd wonder the same
Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And MTV trading music for acting
Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
Britney should've never covered satisfaction
No, no woah-oh-oh-oh
And there's a million other people with a lot on their minds
But for me I'm not the type to let a good thing die
If we could bring The Beatles back to rock it one more time
We could turn this mess around one beat at a time
You're killing me, stop playing with this whole mirage
And replace the music with hydraulic cars
I'd trade my first favorite Ovation guitar
If we could retrace the steps we've made so far
Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And MTV trading music for acting
Avril Lavigne's on the cover of Maxim
Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
Can you tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
Britney should've never covered satisfaction
No, no woah-oh-oh-oh
Quando eu era jovem eu costumava aumentar o som do baixo e
Tocar para Billie Jean e Thriller no meu porão
Quando Michael Jackson era uma sensação pop
Com todas as segundas musicas no radio
Lembro do Axle dizendo para nós termos paciência
E os cds vendiam sem filiação alguma
Quando Willian Hung e a musica ainda não tinham nenhuma relação
Alguém diga para Janet trazer de volta a nação do ritmo
Nenhuma luva, nenhum casaco de zíper
Não mais submarinos amarelos ou kokomos
Se nós pudéssemos perguntar para Luther Vandross
Eu aposto que ele pensa o mesmo...
Você pode me dizer o que aconteceu com Michael Jackson?
E a MTV trocando musica por ação?

Woah oh oh
E tem um milhão de pessoas com outras coisas na mente
Mas para mim, eu não sou do tipo que deixa uma coisa boa morrer
Se nós pudéssemos trazer os beatles de volta para tocar mais uma vez
Nós poderíamos desfazer essa bagunça, uma batida de cada vez
Quando eu era jovem eu costumava aumentar meus fones de ouvido
E me sacudir pelas paginas de Ro-oh-lling Stone
Costumava aumentar para 10 no meu caminho para casa
Com Mick Jagger cantando´´é só rock-n-roll``
Nenhuma luva, nenhum casaco de ziper
Só estrelas de rock comendo seu filé mignon
Onde Van Halen colocou os solos de guitarra
Eu aposto que eles pensariam o mesmo
E bandas reunidas só para ter uma reação
Britney nunca deveria ter sido capa da satisfaction
No no oh oh oh
