Welcome to the 2003 minus 25   Oh, say, can you smell her for the smoke?   God's still up there laughin', so he's gotta be alive   Who says he can't take a dirty joke?      Power is and power does and power slips away   It's so easy to abuse   Who'd have thought them Arabs would've bought the U.S.A.   Just to give it to the Jews?      Singin' crime still don't pay, just like it used to   And time slips away 'til you die   And you know that I don't give a damn when I choose to   And you know that 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 now   Than there was the fight before      Would you tell me why the hell we tried to win back in the 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 'til you die   And you know that I don't give a damn when I choose to   And you know that 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 'til you die   And you know that I don't give a damn when I choose to   And you know that it don't hurt so bad when you're high
