Lyrics

Postmodern Pam
Doesn't give a damn
Says, "I know who I am
And where I want to be."

Grew up in Sherman Oaks
Her folks were normal folks
But normalcy can choke? so she went where she could be free

She said "I'LL SHINE IN SILICON BEACH
THE WORLD WILL BE MINE; IT'S A GOAL I KNOW I CAN REACH
I'LL START THERE IN A STARTUP
AND PRETTY SOON I'LL DART UP
THAT LADDER OF HIP TECH SUCCESS
FREE GOURMET LUNCH, BUSINESS CASUAL DRESS
LIFE WILL BE SWEETER THAN A SWEET CALIFORNIA PEACH
"I'M GONNA SHINE, SHINE, SHINE IN SILICON BEACH"

Millennial Mike
Rides a fixed-gear bike
And often likes to hike his bike
Down along the strand

When he left home in Dublin
His ma said, "Mike, 'tis troublin'"
He replied, "Our economy ain't bubblin', Ma
But I know where it's just grand"

He said "I'LL SHINE IN SILICON BEACH
THE WORLD WILL BE MINE; IT'S A GOAL I KNOW I CAN REACH
I'LL START THERE IN A STARTUP
AND PRETTY SOON I'LL DART UP
THAT LADDER OF HIP TECH SUCCESS
FREE GOURMET LUNCH, BUSINESS CASUAL DRESS
LIFE WILL BE SWEETER THAN A SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY PEACH
"I'M GONNA SHINE, SHINE, SHINE IN SILICON BEACH"

It was just another Taco Tuesday in the cafeteria line
Pam reached down to grab some hot sauce she happened to like
Precisely at that very moment, another hand reached for the sauce
A hand that belonged to Millennial Mike
Fingers touched
Eyes met
Lightning did strike


Accidental Ann
Was not part of the plan
But things got out of hand one night
With too much Chardonnay

A trip to the physician
Confirmed this new addition
Now Mike and Pam's new mission was
To hear their future daughter say

"I'LL SHINE IN SILICON BEACH
THE WORLD WILL BE MINE; IT'S A GOAL I KNOW I CAN REACH
I'LL START THERE IN A STARTUP
AND PRETTY SOON I'LL DART UP
THAT LADDER OF HIP TECH SUCCESS
FREE GOURMET LUNCH, BUSINESS CASUAL DRESS
PRODUCT LAUNCHES WHERE WE'LL SPEAK TO THE PRESS
OFFSITE EVENTS WHERE WE'LL DRINK TO EXCESS
LIFE WILL BE SWEETER THAN A NON-GMO PEACH
I'M GONNA SHINE, SHINE, SHINE
THE STARS WILL ALIGN
I'M GONNA SHINE, SHINE, SHINE IN SILICON BEACH
IN SILICON BEACH
SHINE, SHINE, SHINE
IN SILICON BEACH
SHINE, SHINE, SHINE
IN SILICON BEACH
SHINE, SHINE, SHINE
IN SILICON BEACH
SHINE, SHINE, SHINE
IN SILICON BEACH
SHINE, SHINE, SHINE
..."
