lyrics

Dylan's pops died mob style there on the Westcoast
Like Byron the McKay men proved dangerous to know
Dylan jumped his Porsche in front of Casa Walsh
Cus Jim went on and on as if he were the boss

Poor Brenda stood there with tears running down her cheeks
She couldn't quite comprehend how men could be so mean

Oh, the moral was carved in stone from the get-go of 90210
It gave me a heads-up on how to deal with all the blows
Like Dylan I couldn't see myself heading off to college
Cus I needed time off to study myself and find my quest

And whenever the going got tough and I felt stunned
I used to ask myself: what would Dylan have done?

It came to a point where I couldn't even see the sun
You're on the ledge now, Sparrow: Don't jump!
And the tragedy of this country is that creeps end up running it
If this is living it's way overrated

Put your shovels away I'm not dying, I'm cursed to live
To me he's even cooler than Holden Caulfield
May the bridges I burn light my way to Heaven
If this is living it's way way overrated
