Future / Now - MC5

Screechin' useless martyrs

Hangin' naked upon the cross, yeah

They would have you believe

That the lie they shriek, that all is lost

Forget their logical desperation

Utilize your imagination

The future’s here right now

If you’re willing to pay the cost

The power crazy leaders

Who control your very fate

They would twist your will

Steal your life and sell your soul away

If you’re drifting or wandering lost

You’re the perfect target for the double cross

Freedom’s yours right now

If you rule your destiny

Here he comes, cosmopolitan enemy, yeah

Here they come, interstellar diplomats, yeah

Some say the truth was meant to be hidden

Others maintain nothing is forbidden

The key to the mystery…

And as our mind explodes in a post atomic dawn

The future breaks like a tidal wave, engulfing everyone

Confusion and chaos, trauma of birth

A strange new day for the people of the earth

Traditions burned away by the rising sun
