Kris Kristofferson - The Year 2000 Minus lyrics

Welcome to the year 2000 minus 25 Oh, say, can you smell her 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'd have thought them Arabs would've bought the U.S.A Just to give it to the Jews? 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 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)
