Kenny Rogers - The Last Ten Years (Superman) lyrics

Oh, the last ten years, it's been quite 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
An' we watched as time
Proved Nostrodamus wrong
An' we watched as Mother
Nature shook the planet
An' cellular replaced the telephone
We lost Charlie Brown
Ray Charles an' Johnny Cash
We even lost Superman, mhm

Well, the last ten years
Look at the hills we've climbed
The best golfer's black
The best rapper's white an'
It's about damn time
But we best beware, there's
A brand new fight, you see
An' I hate to say we might
Be our own worst enemy
We watched Oklahoma sifting
Through the damage
An' 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, mhm

Expensive gas an' free downloads
The dot-com boom, an' reality shows
What's gonna happen next is anybody's guess
Satellite radio and hybrid cars
Hand held computers an' 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
Gonna miss you chris
