2000 & When

Life on a screen's gettin' warmer just passin' the time

And has anyone wondered why

We're breathin' in fumes of a whole generation gone by?

But we don't have to if we try

We can't go on living the same

Just hopin' it'll be okay

So wake me up when we can go outside

Nobody knows what it feels like

This imaginary distant utopia

Don't take a look into the future

'Cause it's burnin' up in front of

Burnin' up in front your eyes

Ooh, days in the sun gettin' shorter, don't wait for the night

When the star falls out the sky

Pay your respects to your mother

She's given you life

Can the system read the signs?

We can't go on living the same

Just hopin' it'll be okay

So wake me up when we can go outside

'Cause nobody knows what it feels like

This imaginary distant utopia

Don't take a look into the future

'Cause it's burnin' up in front of

Burnin' up in front your eyes

Sky high and we can't get higher

Come down to a world on fire

Want love in the summer rain

But we never change

No, we never change, yeah

Went down the river to pray

But it dried up on sunny day, yeah

Looked around thinking

"What have we done?"

I don't wanna give up, I don't wanna give up yet

Sky high and we can't get higher

So come down to a world on fire

Want love in the summer rain

But we never change

No, we never change, yeah

We drop bombs and we go to war

If we're right, everybody's wrong and

We got funds, do whatever we want

Are we outta we control?

Are we having fun yet?

Are we having fun yet?

Sky high and we can't get higher

The world's on fire

The world's on fire

The world's on fire
