Lyrics
The Future That Was
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jesus, the world is falling to pieces
Will you come back and be our hero and release us?
And if so, will you get your own show?
And we'll be saved and well behaved
And you'll be famous
CHORUS: Here's to the future that was
Everything you thought it'd be but
Was it anything you thought of?
Here's to the future that was
Thomas, a new century is upon us
You were enlightened but you weren't very honest
I know it was a long time ago
And things change and people change
And both have changed us
CHORUS
Samuel, your son is quite a handful
His grades are bad he can't do math
and he tends to ramble
Our tests show that he's a bit slow
If he receives the help he needs
He'll ride the same bus
CHORUS
