Welcome to 2003, minus 25
Folks say you can smell her for the smoke
God's still up there laughing so He's gotta be alive
Who says He can't take a dirty joke?

Power is as power does, power slips away
It's so easy to abuse
Who'd do something [Incomprehensible] 'bout the USA
Just to make us pay the dues?

Singing crime still don't pay at least like it used to
And you know that time slips away when you die
And you know that I don't give a damn at least 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
Than there was to fight before

Would you tell me why the hell we'd try 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

Singing crime still don't pay at least like it used to
And time slips away when you die
And you know that I don't give a damn at least when I choose to
And you know that it don't hurt so bad when you're high

Singing crime still don't pay 'least like it used to
And you know that time slips away when you die
And you know that I don't give a damn at least when I choose to
And you know that it don't hurt so bad when you're high
