Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
Who cares, I'm in a trance, I got no hope, I don't stand a chance
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who knows, well I don't care, 'cause I don't fit in anywhere
But it's all right, yes it is all right
Well, I'm numb but that's my style,
I've been numb for a little while
And it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized
Cold inside, anesthetized, 'cause life has got me paralyzed
Who says I have to pay, I didn't want this anyway
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who says life is good? Love thyself, well I never could
But it's all right, yes it is all right
I'm here dressed in black, waiting for a heart attack
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I try to talk, I just can't speak, the urge is strong,
But my brain is weak
And it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized
Cold inside, anesthetized, 'cause life has got me paralyzed
And who says life is good? Love thyself, well I never could
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized,
I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin' otherwise,
I'm paralyzed
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized,
I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin' otherwise,
I'm paralyzed
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who knows, well I don't care, 'cause I don't fit in anywhere
But it's all right, yes it is all right
Well, I'm numb but that's my style,
I've been numb for a little while
And it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized
Cold inside, anesthetized, 'cause life has got me paralyzed
Who says I have to pay, I didn't want this anyway
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who says life is good? Love thyself, well I never could
But it's all right, yes it is all right
I'm here dressed in black, waiting for a heart attack
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I try to talk, I just can't speak, the urge is strong,
But my brain is weak
And it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized
Cold inside, anesthetized, 'cause life has got me paralyzed
And who says life is good? Love thyself, well I never could
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized,
I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin' otherwise,
I'm paralyzed
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized,
I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin' otherwise,
I'm paralyzed
