1969 Lyrics
Alright
It's 1969, ok
All across the USA
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
Now, last year I was twenty-one
I didn't have a lot of fun
And now I'm gonna be twenty-two
I say oh my and uh boo hoo
Yeah, now I'm gonna be twenty-two
Uh, oh my and, uh boo hoo
It's 1969, ok
All across the USA
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
It's 1969
It's 1969
It's 1969, baby
It's 1969, baby
It's 1969
It's 1969
It's 1969
It's 1969
It's 1969, baby
It's 1969, baby
Well, it's 1969, baby
Baby
It's 1969, ok
All across the USA
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
I didn't have a lot of fun
And now I'm gonna be twenty-two
I say oh my and uh boo hoo
Yeah, now I'm gonna be twenty-two
Uh, oh my and, uh boo hoo
All across the USA
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
It's 1969
It's 1969, baby
It's 1969
It's 1969
It's 1969
It's 1969
It's 1969, baby
Well, it's 1969, baby
Baby

i thought it was war across the USA as well.
i thought it was war across the usa too. lol great song.
it also has a lot to do with the fact that music during the time was shit and boring, except the doors of course. it talks about the fact that people were stuck in small dead-end towns with nothing to aim for, where as iggy, ron asheton and the rest of the stooges were havin a great time gettin high and having sex with hot groupies. this was the birth of the REAL rebels, mainly jim morisson and iggy pop.
@lukeyboy3 if you think that Jim Morrison\'s only "getting high and having sex with hot groupies" then you don\'t really get his essence. Jim was a poet, he had deep reflections on dream and reality, ideal and material, selfconsciousness and inconsciousness, he was a philosopher following the teachings of Nietzsche and expressing it through William Blake\'s poetry

I think the "nothing to do" is because it was all the hippy shit at the time and punk hadn't been invented. So they had nothing to do in that society.
Basically it's about how life in that era was a certain bore, nothing to do, nothing to fight for, nothing much to live for. His life is just fading away as nothing's happening.
this marked the beginning of the end for the hippie shit...
wow, i always thought he said "war across the USA".
i agree with chinup. wicked song by a great group
