Millenium

Lyrics By Killing Joke

Killing Joke are an English post-punk rock band formed in 1979.

Killing Joke influenced many later bands, such as Nirvana, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Napalm Death, Godflesh, Big Black, Prong, Metallica, Jane's Addiction, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Faith No More and Korn, all of whom have at some point cited some debt of gratitude to 'The Joke'.

I was born to see two thousand years
Of man's effect upon the planet
Extinction seems to be a plausible risk
Whatever happens well i'm part of all this
My life i've been waiting for this moment
All my life i've been waiting for this moment to come
Taste the salt of my tears
Take the wealth of my years
Singing in the millennium with you
[Resolutions for show]
Old ways don't seem to know
Singing in the millennium with you
Fire burn all our uncertainties
Water wash away impurities
Contradictions and predictions abound
Yes i believe that we can turn it around
My life i've been waiting for this moment
My life i've been waiting for this moment
All my life i've been waiting for this moment
All my life i've been waiting for this moment to come
