What is Happening in the Back Seat

—"I like this but I wish I was hearing it as a sixteen year old."

—"You think you can't like this and be an adult?"

—"I just want to be in a car filled with my friends and we're all singing along to every word at the top of our lungs."

—"We can sing along to it now."

—"But the back seat should be full of our friends. Three friends on the seat and at least one more sitting on someone's lap."

—"We have friends who would sing along with us."

—"It needs to be 3:30 in the afternoon and we need to be on the way to a McDonalds or someone's house to watch MTV."

—"You want to go home and watch Parental Control?"

—"I want to be a teenager while this song is playing."

—"Let's sing along."

—"No."

—"It's a shame you don't know how to enjoy some things."

—"In four months there'll be a car seat back there."

—"And in sixteen years he'll borrow the car so he and his friends can drive around and sing along to a song just like this one at the top of their lungs."

I'm going to thrash to this song in front of a mirror forever man, even when my body shrinks and distorts and sends electrical pulses to my brain indicating that it is no longer capable of thrashin'.
