The price to be freeskyrocketed and what we did was a sight to seeAmerica, the nation that Westeners obeyin exchange for protection engaged in an electionIt was famously contested so with baited breaththe world's gaze headed WestwardWith the battle of the ballots hanging in the balanceThere was a lack of ballast in who would inhabit the palaceAnd in Bush and Gore's manic rush to the doorthere was a panic and all planning was pushed to the floorThe winner was a mystery, so it was handed to the courtswho handed it to George and Bush was given victoryAnd in an instant, Clinton's stintof stability, - well it was historyWe met the neighbours, they made us get acquaintedwith the daily dangers that they're facingThey took a plane and they made it change destinationto shake a great Western nationAnd the pain of that day made the next generationof patriots praying for good or baying for bloodTerror attacks in America taxedthe president's head to the max, not yet to mention IraqThe inevitable reaction in Afghanistanwas the centre of a grander planAnd to spread democratic valuesthey sent in the tanks to get the fanatical Taliban radicalsThe massive collateral damagewas classed as manageable. Act casualand the militant killing of a million civiliansis merely a stat on the graph on the manager's wallSo that was war number one,and it's all going on still but there's more to comeAfter the Taliban in Afghanistanwe attacked Saddam in Baghdad, IraqThey said "trust, he's hiding weapons of mass destruction"but it's come to light that that was a constructionThere was a hurricane, too, and a tsunamithat harmed more humans than a crusading armyor a Jihadi militant targeting Madrid,ripping innocents apart in the name of AllahIn the Blitz Brits used to shelter in tube stationsNow there's a new danger and they're not too safebut everything's going to be alright nowEverything's going to be alrightThere's a new fellow in the White HouseIt was a momentous event cos he's light brownI guess America should be quite proudBut he's already won the peace prize - how?He needs to pull the peace pipe outand have a draw before he can ease my doubtsBut evidently the presidency can go to any manwho reckons Yes He CanIt's a messy planet, full of stress and panicWe better learn from the lessonsof the past and do better than itThere's many bad things we can prevent with actionso forget the distractions and accept the challengeDarfur, Georgia, Iran, PalestineFamine, Swine Flu, and Michael Jackson diedGlobal warming, CFCs, global war, WMDsHDTV, DVDs, Blu-Ray, MP3s, PCsiPods, laptops, Blackberries, flatscreenBroadband, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter feedsAnd there's still killings in the Middle Eastwe don't even see, on the BBC news streamWe're like the people in Korea, being decievedThe real world's hiding behind a screen of fearImmediate media means that we're free to believeanything that we see or read in Wikipediawe're in a different league to those a decade agothough it was only yesterday - no?They brought back Die Hard, brought back RamboRocky Balboa and Indiana JonesThrowbacks to the days where we felt safeThat's why Take That are back againThe twelfth of May two thousand and eightA hell of a day; a powerful mountainous quakekilled thousands and razed the surroundingsdown in its wake, how can we take it?Tell me it's fate 'cause I'm doubting my faithBut hope takes more than a foul thing to breakTrust, look around and there's faces counting on changeWe've got the power to get out of the chainsDoes it sound very strange right now that there's slavesthat are labouring eighteen hours a day?We can help them to break out when we say"Down with the pain," now we've found ourselves againThe smell, the taste, it's real, can you feel that?Now, today; the people have a real chanceEverything's going to be alright noweverything's going to be alrightWell, that was the noughtiesAnd not since the nineteen fortieshave we seen this much economic recession;have we seen this much aggressionBut we're still going strong, still holding on tightWe're going to be alrightbecause we're still going strong, still holding on tight,We're going to be alright

Dec 8, 2011 - Noughties? What is that? Excuse my stupidness.
Workaholics93 Says:
Dec 14, 2011 - nought, as in zero. Like Noughts and Crosses which you probably know as tic-tac-toe. And btw your not stupid, you just didn't know :)
Gaznugget Says:
Dec 14, 2011 - I see, thanks for explaining :)So nought (zero) with the "ties" at the end like eighties or nineties for example. Clever but obviously a made up name unlike the twenties up to the nineties. And I've never heard of "tic-tac-toe", but I've heard noughts and crosses plenty of times when I've played it, it's the common way to say it here in the UK.Anyway thanks, the "noughties" (2000 to 2009) So then what is 2010 to 2019 aka now?
lsteer100 Says:
Dec 17, 2011 - what stands out about the noughties was the extreme depressing nature of it. 9/11, iraq war, afghan war, terrorism etc. i fear for 1011-2019 and that world war 3 or a second cold war will occur.

Dec 26, 2011 - Yeah, its gone tits up already
allaboutdmagic Says:
Dec 26, 2011 - Certainly seems that way Sir Crouch, but then again, most of the current problems are aftershocks of the 00s. We did lose a lot of tyrants this year, for example.

KammeratGak Says:
Jan 30, 2012 - I would hope for the tens to be a kind of renaissance of the gold of older times.Phat oldschool beats with genuine, cultured, honest messages, break-up with corporate tyranny, and revolution.
ShingenDok Says:
Mar 19, 2012 - I love this, but I'm not so hopeful for the coming years. We are at the start of WW3, it's already started and is about to get very real. Guns and soldiers don't kill people. Politicians do...
MrTFSL Says:
Mar 30, 2012 - Because we don't bitch about it.
WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Says:
Apr 17, 2012 - Bullshit. Soldiers chose chose to join up. They are responsible for that.
WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Says:
Apr 17, 2012 - Actually they regularly do. And there were many terrorist attacks in the Noughties. Under that logic, I could say 'no one ever talks about the Amman bombings'- 63 people killed in that attack. or Sharm el Sheikh- 88 killed etc
rubenmosskeys Says:
Apr 18, 2012 - really? wow! i never knew that! what i was more trying to get at was why is 911 such a big thing compared to any of the other attacks? :)
WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Says:
Apr 20, 2012 - I think for several reasons; in terms of casualties it did far surpass anything else- in modern times, only the series of bombings against the Yazidi community of northern Iraq in August 2006 comes close. Of course there have been many terrible attacks since but none where fatalities were in 4 figures. Secondly the political consequences of 9/11- it sparked the foreign policy that would define a generation. In this sense the impact of 9/11 was much wider than the event itself
