The Year 2003 Minus 25 Lyrics

Welcome to the year 2000, minus 25 

Oh say, can you smell 'er for the smoke? 

God's still up there laughin' 

So he's gotta be alive 

Who says he can't take a dirty joke? 



Power is and power does and power slips away 

It's so easy to abuse. 

Who'da thought them Arabs woulda bought the USA 

Just to give it to the Jews? 



Chorus:

Singin' crime still don't pay 

Just like it used to 

(Just like it used to) 

And time slips away 'til you die 

(Slips away 'til you die) 

You know but I don't give a damn 

When I choose to 

(When I choose to) 

And you know but it don't hurt so bad 

When you're high 

(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 now 

Than there was the fight before 

And could you tell me why the hell we tried to win back in the war 

What we wasted in the last? 

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

When your army's out of gas 



Chorus:

Singin' crime still don't pay 

Just like it used to 

(Just like it used to) 

And time slips away 'til you die 

(Slips away 'til you die) 

You know but I don't give a damn 

When I choose to 

(When I choose to) 

And you know but it don't hurt so bad 

When you're high 

(When you're high)
