[Lyric] Year 2000 (Die Toten Hosen)

Today I saw a familiar face across a city street
Sitting in the doorway with a blanket round his feet
At first I didn't place him the way you often do
But the last time I'd seen him he sat next to me at school

Where will we be in the year 2000
When there's no more hunger and there's no more war?
We're standing on the threshold of the year 2000
The time has come we've had enough we won't take anymore

We're different from our parents they'll never understand
We won't be fooled the way they were, the future's in our hands
Remember how we promised as we said good-bye to school:
Like all good friends we'll meet again, I'll tell you what we'll do

We'll meet again in the year 2000?
There'll be no more hunger, there'll be no more war
New Year's day in the year 2000
The time has come we've had enough we won't take anymore

Please don't take my word for it
It's clear for all to see
The world will be a better place
In the twenty-first century
Where will we be in the year 2000?
There'll be no more hunger, there'll be no more war
New Year's day in the year 2000
The time has come we've had enough we won't take anymore

Please don't take my word for it
It's clear for all to see
The world will be a better place
In the twenty-first century

Where will we be in the year 2000?
There'll be no more hunger, there'll be no more war
New Year's day in the year 2000
The time has come we've had enough we won't take anymore
