Future Shock - Herbie Hancock

We’ve got to stop all men

From messing the land

When what we understand

This is our last and only chance

Everybody, it’s the Future Shock

Future Shock

Future Shock (Shock Shock)

Hey, little sister

Where’s your brother?

See your momma

Standing on the soup line

Our blessed father

Ain’t got the strength to be bothered

The almighty world, hear me, girl

Was bound to weigh him down

We’ve got to stop all men

From messing the land

When what we understand

This is our last and only chance

Everybody, it’s the Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock

Future Shock (Shock, Shock)

Future Shock

Future Shock

Our worldly figures

They’re playing for niggers

Oh, see them dancing

See how they’re dancing

To The Superfly

Woo!

Yeah, ain’t it dumb

When they don’t know where we’re coming from?

Dancing in our youth

Crying out for truth

To get over, over, over

We’ve got to stop all men

From messing the land

When what we understand

This is our last and only chance

Everybody, it’s the Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock

Hey, big sister

Where’s your mister?

Dress to the pole

Try to get whole

It’s all right

What’s going on?

You seem always alone

Couldn’t raise the bail

Man, he’s in jail

Get over

We’ve got to stop all men

From messing the land

When what we understand

This is our last and only chance

Everybody, it’s the Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Price of the feat

Higher than the dope in the street

Is it any wonder

For those with nothing to eat?

Son’s got it made

But still seems so afraid, my friend

There’s no love for his brother

No friends for another

Future Shock

Hurts me, going on

Future Shock

Everyone’s alone

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Don’t know the people

Future Shock

Future Shock

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Everyone’s alone

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Don’t know the people

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Afraid of the steeple

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Future Shock (Shock, Shock, Shock)

Hurts me, going on, woo-ooh!

Future Shock

Future Shock

Everyone’s alone

Future Shock

Future Shock

Don’t know the people

Future Shock

Afraid, afraid of the steeple

Future Shock

Future Shock

Woo!

Future Shock

Future Shock

Not a lotta thinkers

Future Shock
