Year 2000 Minus 25 — текст песни (Waylon Jennings)

[ Waylon & Willie ]
Welcome to the years 2000 minus 25 oh say can you smell her for the smoke
God`s till 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 brought 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...
Singin` crime still don`t pay...
