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."
Back in history in the roaring 20's there was a law called prohibition
No one was to drink or make alcohol
Today in the 90's we have a new law
People getting mugged by strung out junkie thugs
Legalize Drugs
People getting shot and you know it's over pot
Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs.
History repeats that sure is the truth
But does America learn from its not so distant past
We have a new problem facing us today
Let's take the opportunity and blow it all away
People spreading AIDS because of addictive ways
Legalize Drugs
People needing crack might just stab you in the back
Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs.
So now you might be saying Drugs are for losers
I don't really care about the substance abusers
But one day when you come home and all your things are gone
you might change your mind and learn to sing this song
Now let's get one thing straight,
we want to let you know
We're not telling you to do Drugs before or after the show
We want to put an end to the murders and the crimes
We believe that people should use their own minds!
No one was to drink or make alcohol
Today in the 90's we have a new law
People getting mugged by strung out junkie thugs
Legalize Drugs
People getting shot and you know it's over pot
Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs.
History repeats that sure is the truth
But does America learn from its not so distant past
We have a new problem facing us today
Let's take the opportunity and blow it all away
People spreading AIDS because of addictive ways
Legalize Drugs
People needing crack might just stab you in the back
Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs.
So now you might be saying Drugs are for losers
I don't really care about the substance abusers
But one day when you come home and all your things are gone
you might change your mind and learn to sing this song
Now let's get one thing straight,
we want to let you know
We're not telling you to do Drugs before or after the show
We want to put an end to the murders and the crimes
We believe that people should use their own minds!
