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)
