Two Thousand & One
Afore I had this 12-inch cellphone sitting in the palm of my hand
The only thing that I could talk to was a friend
Oh my God how sad life was in the year Two Thousand and One
I tell you back then, they didn't have a word for fun
No Facebook, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Uber weren't no Instagram
Even had to go outdoors if you wanted to get a tan
They was all so happy and pretty and young no they didn't stand a chance
When the darkness that lives within us asked to have the next dance
How did we get to where we are today?
I don't know, this I will avow
How did we survive all the yesterdays
If before, things weren't like they are now?
Elon Musk hadn't yet invented electricity
And you could see candles through the windows of the college dormitory
A light so faint they strained their eyes, yeah they all got cataracts
Served them right, those candles weren't vegan, no, they were made of beeswax
A rudimentary system of weights and measures is all they had
I saw Euclid ranking skyscrapers with a compass and a pad
Then the two of them fell, it all went to Hell in a handbasket real fast
That's why all we hear about Two Thousand is "Oh! the price of gas,"
How did we get to where we are today?
I don't know, this I will avow.
How did we survive all the yesterdays
If before, things weren't like they are now?
It all goes so fast these days
Maybe we need to take some time to chill
Seems like the fifties were the Stone Age
And the Great Depression is when they had Jesus killed
It's hard to believe it took us this long to get to where to we are
But we've come so far
How did we get to where we are today?
I don't know, this I will avow.
How did we survive all the yesterdays
If before, things weren't like they are now?
The only thing that I could talk to was a friend
Oh my God how sad life was in the year Two Thousand and One
I tell you back then, they didn't have a word for fun
No Facebook, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Uber weren't no Instagram
Even had to go outdoors if you wanted to get a tan
They was all so happy and pretty and young no they didn't stand a chance
When the darkness that lives within us asked to have the next dance
How did we get to where we are today?
I don't know, this I will avow
How did we survive all the yesterdays
If before, things weren't like they are now?

How did we survive all the yesterdays
If before, things weren't like they are now?
