1969
----
Well it's 1969, okay
All across the U.S.A.
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
Well, it's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do

Last year I was 21
I didn't have a lot of fun
And now I'm gonna be 22
I say "oh my" and "boohoo"
Yeah now I'm gonna be 22
Oh my and boo hoo

It's 1969, okay, all across the U.S.A.
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
Another year with nothing to do
Well it's 1969
1969, 1969, 1969, 1969, baby
And it's 1969, baby
Baby
Baby
Baby

DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE
-------------------------
There was life here once
The tensions, the harshness of life
Lost in the flow of time
Now comes crumbling down
The land will be covered in darkness
Premonitions of sorrow and anger, even so

Things rush on, feel it changing
Never facing it straight on
To all things under creation
Never facing it straight on

Well I know
(Whoa) The day the Earth caught on fire
(Whoa) The day the Earth caught on fire
(Whoa) The day the Earth caught on fire
(Whoa) The day the Earth caught on fire
Burn!

People wander aimlessly
The great spring of life runs dry
Come face to face with a world of darkness
Now comes crumbling down
The land will be covered in darkness
Premonitions of sorrow and anger, even so

Things rush on, feel it changing
Never facing it straight on
To all things under creation
Never facing it straight on

Well I know
(Whoa) The day the Earth caught on fire
(Whoa) The day the Earth caught on fire
(Whoa) The day the Earth caught on fire
(Whoa) The day the Earth caught on fire

(Whoa)
