The Year 2000 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)
