The Last Ten Years (Superman)

Oh, the last ten years, it's been quite a trip Over thirty-six-hundred spins around without a cosmic slip But within the realm of our atmosphere We're 'bout as out of whack as we've ever been in a million years We watched the Y2K scare in a panic And we watched as time proved Nostradamus wrong And we watched as Mother Nature shook the planet And cellular replaced the telephone We lost Charlie Brown, Ray Charles and Johnny Cash We even lost Superman Mm-hmm Well, the last ten years, look at the hills we've climbed The best golfer's black, the best rapper's white and it's about damn time But we best beware, there's a brand-new fight, you see? And I hate to say we might be our own worst enemy We watched Oklahoma sifting through the damage And we watched a US President get caught We watched shareholders watch their savings vanish We all cried when we watched those Towers fall We lost Minnie Pearl, Ron Reagan and Sam I Am We even lost Superman Expensive gas and free downloads The dot-com boom, and reality shows What's gonna happen next is anybody's guess Satellite radio and hybrid cars Hand-held computers and a trip to Mars It's all become a part of who we are In the last ten years In the last ten years We lost George Harrison, John Paul and June Carter-Cash Hell, we even lost Superman We gonna miss you, Chris
