about
The critically-hailed "most pretentious, egotistical statement in music, period" makes a comeback in the shape of '1983'. It's '79 counterpart was Bill & Bob's debut single; the four years that had passed between the two songs is chronicled lyrically here by Pippen.
lyrics
Superstars, today, tomorrow
Superstars, today, tomorrow...
We first wrote this song
When we were young, we were children
We fought our way up from the streets
Nineteen seventy nine was a memory
Of youth and its ways
We’d grown up from the jazz, as:
Superstars, today, tomorrow
We’ll find our way through the troubles
As light follows day
And as storytellers would say:
“The truth of the matter is found deeper”
We travelled to the core
Left the wanderers gagging for more
Yet still we climbed that mountain!
We are:
Superstars, fighting for tomorrow
You find your feet and overcome sorrow!
Superstars, today, tomorrow
We’ll find our way through the trouble
