[Verse 1 - G.I. Joe] Yo, the TV glowed, Saturday, dawn patrol Fighting Cobra's venom, saving every single soul. "A Real American Hero!" screamed across the screen Roadblock with the heavy g*n, making noise obscene. Flint with the quick wits, Duke with the command Cutting through the shadows, across the desert sand. Serpentor on the warpath, Destro with the steel Every single mission, man, felt so damn real. From the Terrordrome to the PIT, a battle never ceased Knowing is half the battle, bringing peace from the beast. [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, the guitars hit heavy, the synths start to fly Chasing those old heroes, beneath a digital sky. This ain't just static, this ain't just a rerun, no! This is the heart of my childhood, letting the memories flow! [Chorus] Saturday morning ritual! Can you hear the sound? From the couch to the cosmos, the best worlds could be found! The volume turned up loud, the sun streaming through the dust That pixelated anthem is the feeling that I trust! Sugar cereal and a blanket, glued right to the screen Those heroes of my youth are still part of my routine! The power never faded, the passion still rings true! Bring on the good old days, the whole damn crew! [Verse 2 - Transformers] We flipped the channel, watched the metal change its form Robots in disguise, ready for the storm. Cybertronian warriors, crashed here long ago Autobots versus Decepticons, watch the battle grow. Optimus Prime spoke deep, "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings!" While Megatron was scheming, pulling all the strings. One minute it's a truck, the next it's a giant man Fighting for the future, sticking to the master plan. The animation was chunky, the explosions bright and fast But the heart of that loyalty? Man, that was built to last! [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, the guitars hit heavy, the synths start to fly Chasing those old heroes, beneath a digital sky. This ain't just static, this ain't just a rerun, no! This is the heart of my childhood, letting the memories flow! [Chorus] Saturday morning ritual! Can you hear the sound? From the couch to the cosmos, the best worlds could be found! The volume turned up loud, the sun streaming through the dust That pixelated anthem is the feeling that I trust! Sugar cereal and a blanket, glued right to the screen Those heroes of my youth are still part of my routine! The power never faded, the passion still rings true! Bring on the good old days, the whole damn crew! [Verse 3 - Scooby-Doo] Then the action slowed down, the Mystery Machine rolled past Looking for the villain, moving way too fast. In the spooky old mansion, shadows danced and swayed Shaggy and the dog, always hungry and afraid. Fred had the bright idea, Daphne always got caught Velma lost her glasses, figuring out the plot. "Jinkies!" or "Zoinks!" and a quick Scooby Snack reward Every creepy ghoul was just some crooked rich lord. The reveal was the constant, the formula we knew "I would've gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for you!" [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, the guitars hit heavy, the synths start to fly Chasing those old heroes, beneath a digital sky. This ain't just static, this ain't just a rerun, no! This is the heart of my childhood, letting the memories flow! [Chorus] Saturday morning ritual! Can you hear the sound? From the couch to the cosmos, the best worlds could be found! The volume turned up loud, the sun streaming through the dust That pixelated anthem is the feeling that I trust! Sugar cereal and a blanket, glued right to the screen Those heroes of my youth are still part of my routine! The power never faded, the passion still rings true! Bring on the good old days, the whole damn crew! [Bridge] It wasn't just cartoons, it was a guarantee That for sixty glorious minutes, I could just be me. The world outside was heavy, the homework and the f***t But here in the living room, everything was bright. That loyalty, that humor, the morals they stood by Man, I miss those damn weekends, beneath that bright TV sky! [Outro] Yo Joe! Robots in disguise! Ruh-roh!
