A.D. 2000 Lyrics

No you won't be name no buildings after me
To go down, dilapidated, ooh
No you won't be naming, no buildings after me
My name, will be misstated, surely

This world done changed, so much yeah yeah
This world done changed, since I been conscious

This world done changed, so much yeah yeah
This world done changed, since I been conscious

Oh (ooh), what in the world will we do? (Aah ba ba ba), will we ever make it? Yeah
And oh, no it ain't right (sure ain't right), oh, is it in your plan? (I want to understand)

Say, you won't be name no buildings after me
To go down dilapidated, no
No you won't be name no buildings after me
My name will be misstated, surely
Surely yeah (surely surely surely), surely (surely), surely
Eeh eeh, eeh eeh, eeh eeh, mmh
Surely, eeh eeh eeh, oh yeah (oh yeah), oh yeah (hm)

Hmm woah, yeah

My name, will be misstated, surely
Surely, yeah, yeah, mmh hmm mmh
