    Story Behind the Song
    Written for the United Nations 1,000 Years of Peace art exhibition.
    A spoof on the Y2K issue. When we were rehearsing this song for the
    U.N., the Y2K food stash that we ordered 6 months ago showed up.
    Very timely

    Lyrics
    Y2K when you can get away
    And buy a ranch in Montana
    Why Be cold when general electric folds
    When there are lots of woods to burn
    Why be inconvenienced when your cell phone goes down
    You could buy a horse and you could ride across town
    Y2K when you could sail away to an island by the sea

    Y2K when you can store away all the food you'll need for living
    Why be scared when you can be prepared
    And have some left for giving
    There's no TV commercials when computers go down
    You could buy some Danielle Steele and just lay around
    So Y2K when you could start today
    with a plan all of your own

    What if all the trains they have no brains
    And aren't running
    You could be on some sandy beach
    Doing your sunning
    Y2K when you could get away
    To a place that's safe and sound

    Y2K when you can save away all the coins
    You'll need for shopping
    Why be poor, if you can't know for sure
    When your checks they will be stopping

    What if all the planes don't have a clue
    where they are going
    You could spend more time at home
    and catch up on your sewing
    Y2K when you could find a way
    To have some peace of mind

    You think that Uncle Sam has got a plan
    You must be kidding
    He's too busy starring the the Soap Opera he's living
    So Y2K when you could find a way to have some peace of mind

    Cause it's all, you've ever wanted
    To Y2K when you can get away
    And find some peace of Mind
