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
