The Year 2003 Minus 25 — текст песни (Waylon Jennings)

(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...
