1980 TO 1989
I am the Alaska oil spill,
Valdez Exxon.
I am recession begins,
Get your stress on.
I am American hostages
In Iran.
I am the release of Nintendo
And Pac-man.
I am the war on drugs
And inflation.
I am the AIDS epidemic
Spreads through the nation.
I am Michael Jackson
Released Thriller.
I am John Lennon shot,
Chapman, the killer.
I am Oklahoma City gets
A bomb.
I am PG-13 gets
Added On.
I am the Titanic wreckage
Recovered.
I am the Motorola mobile
Phone discovered.
I am the age of
Reaganomics.
I am the surge of
Electronics.
I am Billie Jean,
And Jessie's girl.
I am Eye of the Tiger and
We are the World.
I am Tom petty and
Back in Black.
I am U2, David Bowie
And Love Shack.
