I Have Seen the Future

There's nothing you've considered that you wouldn't surmise
Would be better the way you do
And the folks that you've uncovered you would cut down to size
To obscure them from them from your view
You're not alone
I suppose
But you don't look grown
When you thumb your nose

You speak in contradictions and you're looking around
For the others who talk like you
And I just can't help but thinking that you're hearing the sound
Of the echo of what you spew
You've got the right
I know
But it's just not right
And I think you know

But as the arc slowly bends you'll stay behind
And what's left of your world will finally die
With your ideas of right and true and fair
Cause I have seen the future
You're not even there

There are those who came before you and you're telling yourself
That they still will live through you
And your history's a tragedy of similar times
That didn't turn out well for you
You're holding on
To a way
That'll soon be gone
But not today

And as the arc slowly bends you'll stay behind
And what's left of your world will finally die
Though you think you won't give one single bit
I have seen the future
You're not part of it

As the arc slowly bends you'll stay behind
And what's left of your world will finally die
With your ideas of right and true and fair
I have seen the future
You're not even there
Yes I have seen the future
You're nowhere
