Lyric The Year 2003 Minus 25

(Kris Kristofferson)
Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson

Welcome to the years 2000 minus 25
Oh, say can you smell her for the smoke
God s still up there laughin so she s gotta be alive
Who says he can t take a dirty joke,

Power isn t power does and power slips away
It s so easy to abuse
Who d ve thought them Arabs would ve bought
The USA just to give it to the Jews.

Singin crime still don t pay just like it used to
And you know that time slips away till you die
Well, I don t give a damn when I choose to
No it don t hurt so bad 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 than there was to fight before.

Would you tell me why the hell we d try to win back in a 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
And you know that time slips away till you die
Well, I don t give a damn when I choose to
No it don t hurt so bad when you re high.

Singin crime still don t pay just like it used to
And you know that time slips away till you die
Well, I don t give a damn when I choose to
No it don t hurt so bad when you re high...
