These comments are sooo far off... except for Zoster's. This song is about the end of the Cold War and the Fall of the Soviet Union. The line is not "I saw the decade in" but "I saw the decade END" as in the last year of the 80's, 1989, the Berlin Wall basically gave way to popular revolts and marked the beginning of the fall of the Soviet Union. It's obvious this is what the song is about just from watching the video, but anyone who was old enough to watch the evening news in that time period knows EXACTLY what the song is about and how the writer feels. The "woman on the radio" who "talks about revolution when it's already passed her by" might be a more specific reference than I know of, but the point is that the revolution was quick and sudden, and in most cases before the leaders/dictators of the USSR and satellite countries even knew what was happening. |

| Augustana – Boston Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is a great song. I heard it on the local college radio station (the only one in town that doesn't play corporate mindsludge 24/7). At one time I didn't like how things were going so I went to a new place to start over. Turned out most of the problem was myself, and running away didn't really change anything, but I learned something nonetheless. | |
