The Future - Michael Franti, Spearhead

They 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 they’re 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

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

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

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

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

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

Stay for tomorrow

Stay for tomorrow
