Dan Bern - Take Back the New Millennium lyrics

I remember back in '99 How excited I was 'bout the concept of time And the great big numbers about to turn And the hopes that I had and the baggage we could burn It was all gonna be smooth and easy and slow Drift in a daydream or just up and go Cover everything with fresh paint, poetry and song And wind chimes and candles and wine Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Time to take back the new millennium This one was gonna be ours Take back the new millennium Mmm And no oil family power Making your enemies cover Planes smashing into towers Gonna keep us from the world we deserve Take back, take back Take back the new millennium Maybe I'm spoiled with too many choices Too many sweet things, too many pretty voices At the first sign of trouble, oh baby, I cut and run To the warm winds of some place and their warm winter sun Wish I could say, but I just don't know If it's all time to just hold on or just let it go Sometimes it seems like it all got snatched away Before we had the chance to live it for a day Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Lately in my sleep, I've been trying to scream This is not my vision, this is not my dream I ain't bein' heard, ain't bein' understood And I can't find my way to the Three Acre Wood But just lately, I've got to say this I feel like things are turning like a cool country kiss I see signs in the small things and though ya can't always win But like Kennedy said, "Let us begin." So, no, I don't think it's too late to turn it around No I, don't think it's too late to throw the bums out of town I got all my senses, I'm walking around I got all my senses, I'm walking around Time to take back the new millennium This one was gonna be ours Take back the new millennium This one was gonna be ours And no oil family power Making your enemies cower Planes smashing into towers Gonna keep us from the world we deserve Take back, take back Take back the new millennium
