The Future

Tell me why the grass was greener,

Years ago, I swear, it used to grow here,

But no more here.

Tell me why on this hill,

All the birds they used to come to fly here,

Come to die here.

Tell me why I need to know,

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to know

All you've shown me.

Hey world, what you say,

Should I stick around for another day or two?

Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you.

Just believe in me like I believe in you.

Tell me why, on the corner,

All the kids that used to come to run here,

Load their guns here.

And tell me why it's okay to kill in the name of the Gods we pray,

Tell me who said it's okay to die in the name of the lies we say,

Tell me why there's child soldiers,

Tell me why they close the borders,

Tell me how to fight disease, and

Tell me now, won't you please

The only thing I want to do

Is to be in the arms of someone who

Believes in me, like I believe in you

And I sayThey talk of the future like it's already the past

They Talk about the future like today will never last

Thay talk of the future while their diggin' through your trash

Taxman come to remove your cash

They talk of the future like a criminal plans

Corporate robberies in far off lands

They tell you the future's a big wonderland

And that homeland security's got a career for you

Don't you believe what they told you before

It's the same frikin' lies that they'll tell you some more

They searchin' your bag as you're boarding the plane

And they telling your neighbors that you went insane

I wouldn't believe that this was all coming true

If I could not see with my eyes that it's true

Even still I hope the future gets here soon

Bring it on bring it on

The future's comin' on like a bomb

The whole worlds rockin' and the beat goes on [x2]

Ready or not we're bringing it on

The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on

They take all your privacy give it away

And for musical piracy lock you away

They tell you that war is a permanent thing

And American Idol kids really can sing

Potheads on a rescue mission,

Put your cancer in remission

People starving, malnutrition

Work your abs into condition

Oh no now they after your soul

And they're telling you now that you're losing control

Well it's true cause I just got sick of it all

They say the savior's comin he's down at the mall

He's signing some autographs and selling them all

Pick up the phone now and make the call

I wouldn't believe that this is all coming true

If I could not see with my eyes that it's true

Even still I hope the future gets here soon

Bring it on bring it on

The future's comin' on like a bomb

The whole worlds rockin' and the beat goes on [x2]

Ready or not we're bringing it on

The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on

Stay for Tomorrow

Stay For Tomorrow

They talk of the future like today will never last

They talk of the future like it's already the past

They talk of the future while their diggin' through your trash

Taxman come to remove your cash

The future's comin' on like a bomb

The whole worlds rockin' and the beat goes on

Ready or not we're bringing it on

The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on [x2]

Stay for tomorrow

Stay for tomorrow
