John Prine - The Twentieth Century is Almost Over слова песни
Back in 1899, when everyone was singing "auld lang syne"A century took a long, long time for every boy and girl.Now theres only one thing that Id like to knowWhere did the 20th century go? Id swear it was here just a minute agoAll over this world.Chorus:And now the 20th century is almost over,Almost over, almost overThe 20th century is almost overAll over this world.All over this world, all over this worldThe 20th century is almost over, all over this world.Does anyone remember the great depression? I read all about it in true confessionIm sorry I was late for the recording sessionBut somebody put me on hold.Has anybody seen my linoleum floorsPetroleum jelly, and two world wars? They got stuck in the revolving doorsAll over this world.And now...The winters getting colder, summers getting hotterWishin wells wishin for another drop of water.And mother earths blushin cause somebody caught herMakin love to the man in the moon.Tell me how you gonna keep em down on the farmNow that outer space has lost its charm? Somebody set off a burglar alarmAnd not a moment too soon.Because...Old father time has got his toes a tappinStanding in the window, grumblin and a rappinEverybodys waiting for something to happen.Tell me if it happens to you!The judgment day is getting nearerThere it is in the rear view mirror.If you duck down I could see a little clearerAll over this world!And now...
