my mother once told me
on the phone that i should name my band
milennium
cuz in the next few years
the millenium will be on everyones mind
i told her that i agreed
but i didnt like it as a band name
yet it got me thinkin
about what id be doin in 2040

*chorus*
in 2040 ill reminisce about the 20th century
where we still wrote on pads of paper
humans still did all the cleaning

in 2040 ill be camping out with my grandsons
theyll have little gadgets to talk to their friends
around the world
theyll see them smell them hear them feel them
communicate as if theyre there

in 2040 my wife and i will take up games
like lawn bowling
and well compete interactively
with couples our age in africa
and well compete interactively with couples our age in thailand

*chorus*
in 2040 ill reminisce about the 20th century
ill reminisce about the 20th century
where we still wrote on pads of paper
humans still did all the cleaning

in 2040 ill reminisce about the 20th century
where we still wrote on pads of paper
humans still did all the cleaning

in 2040 ill be camping out with my grandsons
theyll have little gadgets to talk to their friends around the world
theyll see them smell them hear them feel them
communicate as if theyre there

theyll see them smell them hear them feel them communicate as if there

in 2040 ill reminisce about the 20th century
where we still wrote on pads of paper
humans still did all the cleaning

in 2040 ill reminisce about the 20th century
where we still wrote on pads of paper
humans still did all the cleaning

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

in 2040 ill reminisce about the 20th century
where we still wrote on pads of paper
humans still did all the cleaning
