  • Eighties - I'm living in the eighties
    Eighties - I have to push, I have to struggle
    Eighties - get out of my way, I'm not for sale no more
    Eighties - let's kamikaze 'til we get there

    And we sang
    You do it this way

    Eighties - by day we run by night we dance, we do
    Eighties - I'm in love with the coming race
    Eighties - I've got the best, I'll take all I can get
    Eighties - I'm living for the eighties

    Eighties - I'm living in the eighties - I push
    Eighties - I'm living
    Eighties - I'm living in the eighties - I struggle
    Eighties - I'm living

    Eighties - I'm living
    Eighties - I'm living in the eighties
    Eighties - I'm living in the eighties - I push
    Eighties - push, push, struggle

    Eighties - I'm living
    Eighties - eighties - I'm living
    Eighties - I'm living in the eighties - I push Writer/s: JEREMY COLEMAN, KEVIN WALKER, MATTHEW FERGUSON, PAUL VINCENT RAVEN

  • Aptfx from GermanyExactly… and in the case of The Damned "Life goes on" Killing Joke just claims to "never have heard from them". I call that bulls--t and I also call it bulls--t that they stopped sueing out of respect after Cobains death… but still accusing him stealing their song everytime someone directs a microphone to them. They might just have realized that with their own "blatantly stealing" of "life goes on" it might not work out well on court.
  • Tj from Melbourne, FlIt's completely disingenuous to call "Come As You Are" a "pretty blatant rip-off" of this song without mentioning the overt similarities between "Eighties" And "Life Goes On" by The Damned, which came out two years earlier.
