Well I've been looking Looking for an answer Somebody promised me one And I've been waiting Waiting for the chance Well somebody said it would come Wake me up when we hit 2001 I've been talking Talking to the maker Of the compromise They said she's fine Call the undertaker You shouldn't look surprised Wake me up when we hit 2001 It's barely alive with a story at five So turn your video on We live in these years dark age of fear Meet me in 2001 I saw my sister Saw the ones who twist her A social suicide If looks could k** Each and every cheap thrill Could be a homicide Wake me up when we hit 2001 It's barely alive with a story at five So turn your video on We live in these years dark age of fear Meet me in 2001 I've searching Searching for a reason To either fight or fly Either way patriot or treason It's gonna be one long hard ride Wake me up when we hit 2001
