In The 21st Century

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When the river runs dry, what will we say

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY HEY

In the 21st century

Oh when the river runs dry, what will we do

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA OH-HOO

In the 21st century

When the river runs dry, what will we wear

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA where?

To the 21st century

Now some people sing, Some people say

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY HEY

Get up off your knees and pray

Pray that the earth don't tire, of the way that we're puttin her

down

Hope that the universe don't say "I'm still expanding but

your time is up"

Some people sing, some people sigh

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA why?

Why can't we live in peace

Some people sing, Some people say

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA HEY HEY

In the 21st century

Hope that the earth don't tire, of the way that we're puttin her

down

Hope the universe don't say - stop spinning around

Hope the world don't say that we've got no place to go

Hope the universe don't say "I'll be expanding for a while,

you? No!

Oh when the river runs dry, what will we do
