"1999" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun
I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray.
But when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was Judgment Day…
The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere.
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction, U know I didn't even care.
Cuz they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so sue me if I go 2 fast…
But life is just a party and parties weren't meant 2 last…
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight…
So if I gotta die, I'm gonna listen 2 my body 2night
Yeah, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (Yeah, yeah)
People, let me tell U somethin'
If U didn't come 2 party, don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket and, baby, he's ready 2 roar. (Yeah!)
Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day (Ow!)
But before I let that happen, I'll dance my life away..
Oh, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
(We're runnin' out of time)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we gonna, oh!)
Say it one more time
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (No, no)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We're gonna, we gonna)
Alright, 1999
U say it, 1999
1999 (1999)
Don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (Yeah, yeah)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we're gonna)
Yeah, 1999 (1999)
Don't U wanna go? (1999)
Don't U wanna go? (1999)
We could all die any day. (1999)
I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away (1999)
Listen 2 what I'm tryin' 2 say…
Everybody, everybody say party!
Come on now, U say it (Party!)
That's right, everybody say
(Party!) {repeat with background vocals}
Can't run from Revelation, no!
Sing it 4 your nation, y'all!
Dreamin' when U're singin', baby!
Say the telephone a-ringin', mama, now!
Come on, come on, U say
Everybody, 2 times
Work it down 2 the ground, I'm sayin'
(Oh baby, say it again)
(Oh, shake your body, baby!)
That's right, come on, sing the song
That's right, everybody say
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say!
Ah, and he's ready 2 roar!
Yeah!
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
