Year 2019 Lyrics
[Verse 1: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
One day we were at home rehearsing
When we heard a funny noise
Opened the backdoor to find out
It was a dude with a British voice
Stood there, said his name was James Corden
And we hadn't heard of him
[Pre-Chorus: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
He told me he built a time machine
Described all the things he'd seen, yeah
And he said:
[Chorus: Jonas Brothers & James Corden]
"I've been to the year 2019
You won't believe who the new President is
It's the guy who hosts "The Apprentice"
And it's pretty weird, super weird"
[Verse 2: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
He showed us the future through the portal
And we saw everything
Spider-Man, and another one, and another one
And another one
Found out there's a mascot called Gritty
He made us terrified
One day we were at home rehearsing
When we heard a funny noise
Opened the backdoor to find out
It was a dude with a British voice
Stood there, said his name was James Corden
And we hadn't heard of him
[Pre-Chorus: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
He told me he built a time machine
Described all the things he'd seen, yeah
And he said:
[Chorus: Jonas Brothers & James Corden]
"I've been to the year 2019
You won't believe who the new President is
It's the guy who hosts "The Apprentice"
And it's pretty weird, super weird"
[Verse 2: Nick Jonas & Joe Jonas]
He showed us the future through the portal
And we saw everything
Spider-Man, and another one, and another one
And another one
Found out there's a mascot called Gritty
He made us terrified
[Pre-Chorus: Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas & James Corden]
We thought the future would be the best
So what's new with Kanye West? Yeah (Uhhh...)
He said:
[Chorus: Jonas Brothers & James Corden]
"I've been to the year 2019
TV has changed, now it's all on your cell phone
You can filter any photo
Look! I'm a dog, a sexy dog"
[Post-Chorus: Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas, & James Corden]
I took a trip to 2019
Twitter sucks, Instagram is thriving
Everybody's wearing really tight jeans
You'll be married (That's surprising)
I took a trip to 2019
So many brand-new milks we're trying:
Cashew, almond, flax milk, oat milk
Rice milk, soy milk, hemp, and goat milk
I took a trip to 2019
Lonely Kevin's still the best meme
Everybody is obsessed with flossing
[Bridge: Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas, & James Corden]
He said that Blockbuster is shut down
And Apple makes watches now, yeah
I've been to the year 2019
Fyre Fest was a total disaster
And The Rock is now a big actor
Box office champ, Dwayne Johnson (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I said:

"I've been to the year 2019
There's dogs on planes, for emotional reasons
The Kardashians have had 15 seasons
They're everywhere, we're keeping up
I've been to the year 2019
Some things have changed, but it still can get better
And our band is back together and doing fine, doing fine"

About
Genius Annotation
As part of their week-long reunion collaboration with The Late Late Show’s James Corden, the Jonas Brothers performed “Year 2019,” a parody of their 2013 hit cover, “Year 3000,” originally by Busted.
Similar to how “Year 3000” addressed the many difference between the two millennia, “Year 2019” satirizes many of the surprising changes in society that took place over the previous decade.
