You and I
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway
Nows the time for us to say
Sometimes I see
You and I
Are all dead, nothing more
Oh yes, man is a fool
How the brave new world arrives
May we all have a vision now and then
In the end of eighty-nine
And the morning seems so gray
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
May we all have a vision now and then
So unlike yesterday
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
That the dreams we had before
Seems to me now
Happy new year, happy new year
It's the end of the party
In the ashes of our lives
Happy new year, happy new year
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
Happy new year, happy new year
Happy new year, happy new year
Dragging on, feet of clay
And I see how it thrives
Who can say what we'll find
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
May we all have a vision now and then
Here we are, me and you
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy new year, happy new year
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Than confetti on the floor
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
And he thinks he'll be okay
It's the end of a decade
Happy new year, happy new year
What lies waiting down the line
Feeling lost and feeling blue
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
In another ten years time
