One day when I came home at lunchtime
I heard a funny noise
Went out to the backyard to find out
If it was one of those rowdy boys
Still there was my neighbor called Peter
And a flux capacitor
He told me he built a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen, yeah
He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine" (Doin' fine)
He took me to the future in the flux thing
And I saw everything
Cover bands, and another one, and another one, and another one
Girls there with round hair
Like Star Wars float above the floor
We drove around in a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen, yeah (Woo)
He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine" (Doin' fine)
If I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
It had outsold Kelly Clarkson
If I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
Seventh album, seventh album
He told me he built a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen, yeah
He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine" (Doin' fine)
He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater (Oh, woah, yeah)
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine" (Doin' fine, doin' fine)
He said, "I've been to the year 3000 (3000)
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater (Underwater)
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doin' fine" (Doin' fine)
He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is pretty fine"
