Year 2000

Lyrics

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.

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.

Won't take anymore!
