| 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 |
