One day when I came home at lunchtime
I heard a funny noise
Went out to the back yard to find out if it was
One of those rowdy boys
Stood there with my neighbor called Peter
And a Flux Capacitor
He told me he built a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen
(Yeah)
He said...I've been to the year Three thousand
Not much has changed but they lived under water
And your great great great granddaughter
Is doing fine (doing fine)
He took me to the future in the flux thing, and I saw everything
Boy bands, and another one and another one...and another one
Girls there with round hair like Star Wars float above the floor
We drove around in a time machine
Like the one in the film I've seen
(Yeeih ou)
He said...I've been to the year Three thousand
Not much has changed but they lived under water
And your great great great granddaughter
Is doing fine (doing fine)
I took a trip to the year Three thousand
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our 7th album
It had outsold Kelly Clarkson
I took a trip to the year Three thousand
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our 7th album, 7th album, 7th album
He told me he built a time machine
Like the one in a film I've seen
(Yeeih)
I've been to the year Three thousand
Not much has changed but they lived under water
And your great great great granddaughter
Is doing fine (doing fine)
(ooh)He said, I've been to the year Three thousand(you've been)
Not much has changed but they lived under water(oh yeah)
And your great great great granddaughter,(great granddaughter)
Is doing fine (doing fine, doing fine)
He said, I've been to the year Three thousand
Not much has changed(not much) but they lived under water(oh yeih)
And your great great great granddaughter
Is doing fine (doing fine)
He said, I've been to the year Three thousand
Not much has changed but they lived under water
And your grand grand grand grand daughter
Is doing fine (doing fine)
