KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - The Year 2000 Minus 25 lyrics

Welcome to the years 2000 minus 25

Oh, say can you smell her for the smoke

God's still up there laughin' so she's gotta be alive

Who says he can't take a dirty joke.

Power isn't power does and power slips away

It's so easy to abuse

Who'd've thought them Arabs would've brought the USA

Just to give it to the Jews.

Singing crime still don't pay just like it used to

And you know this time slips away till you die

Well, I don't give a damn when I choose to

No, it don't hurt so bad when you're high.

Oh say does the future of the homesick and the brave

Even matter anymore

There ain't no more reason for them boys to run away

Than there was to fight before.

Would you tell me why the hell we'd try

To win back in a war what we lasted in the last

Might just ain't as righteous as it used to be before

When your army's out of gas.

Singing crime still don't pay just like it used to

And you know this time slips away till you die

Well, I don't give a damn when I choose to

No, it don't hurt so bad when you're high.

Singing crime still don't pay just like it used to

And you know this time slips away till you die

Well, I don't give a damn when I choose to

No, it don't hurt so bad when you're high...
