Anthem for the Year 2000 Lyrics

We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologize for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000 with

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you

Never knew we were living in a world
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
World who cares at all

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you

What is the Meaning of Anthem for the Year 2000?

Ready to power up your time machine and march into a dystopian teenage dream? Silverchair serves us a punchy anthem channeling youthful rebellion against the old guard of politics and society. It's a battle cry against "minds so small" and those stubborn fascist ways, championing a vision where tomorrow's youth build a brave new world. Twisting cosmic dissatisfaction with a cheeky promise to "make it up to you" by the year 2000, the song teeters between the verge of hope and a dose of reality-check cynicism. With their power chords as a trusty megaphone, it's all about breaking down barriers and dreaming big, maybe while smashing a guitar or two. In short, it’s rock ‘n’ roll’s version of sending the establishment a text that says: “New phone, who dis?” #YouthRevolution #NewMillenniumDreams
