The Future
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.
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the future we were counting on
This is not the world every boy and every girl envisioned
From the time we learned we all were growing up
Modern life is hard
Without the flying car
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the picture we were painting
This is not the model we once saw
There are no instructions now for living
There are no more plans for us to draw
When everything you love to do
Turns out to be hurting you
This is not the future we were promised
Tired of the good old days
So through the crystal ball we gaze
To the future (oh, oh)
And there must be a better way
To make a change we'll start today
For the future (oh, oh)
Modern life is much to hard
With no jet packs or flying cars
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the future we were
