One day when I came home at lunch time
I heard a funny noise
Went out to the backyard to find out
If it was one of those rowdy boys
Stood there with 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 doing fine"
(Doing fine)

He took me to the future in the flux thing
And I saw everything
Boy bands, and another one, and another one
And another one
And 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 (ohh)

He said
"I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doing fine"
(Doing fine)

I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
It had outsold Kelly Clarkson
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

I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doing fine
Doing fine (whoa)

He said
"I've been to the year 3000" (yeah, babe)
"Not much has changed, but they lived underwater" (oh-ohh, yea-yeah)
"And your great-great-great-granddaughter" (granddaughter)
"Is doing fine" (doing fine, yeah, doing fine)

He said
"I've been to the year 3000"
"Not much has changed" (not much)
"But they lived underwater" (water, yeah)
"And your great-great-great-granddaughter, is doing fine"
(Doing 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 doing fine"
(Doing fine)
