Lyrics
Adrift again 2000 man
You lost your maps,
You lost the plans
Did you hear them yell,
Land damn it land?
You say you can’t
Well I hope you can
I hope you can
How’s it goin 2000 man?
Welcome back to solid ground my friend
I heard all your controls were jammed
Well it’s just nice to have you back again
But I guess they still don’t understand
And they can never understand
And they said go find 2000 man
And they said tell him we’ve got new plans
But instead I’m here to tell you friend
I believe they want you to give in
Are you giving in 2000 man?
(Did you love this world
And did this world not love you?)
Are you giving in 2000 man?
Don’t give in 2000 man
