The Future Ain't What It Used to Be
We once had silver space suits and rockets to the stars
We walked on moving sidewalks and drove electric cars
But now we've got the internet and satellite T.V.
The future ain't what it used to be
We once had giant hovercrafts to sail the seven seas
We'd fly across the ocean just to buy our groceries
But only Richard Branson can afford such luxury
The future ain't what it used to be
Hey there Nostradamas, where's the world you promised?
This place don't look much different to me
Go tell Gallileo in exelsius deo
The future ain't what it used to be
We gazed through picture windows in our underwater homes
We lived in peace and harmony in cities under domes
But now the starving polar bear is drifting off to sea
The future ain't what it used to be
Hey there Nostradamas, where's the world you promised?
This place don't look much different to me
Go tell Gallileo in exelsius deo
The future ain't what it used to be
With every challenge overcome and every problem solved
Every race walked hand in hand oh my how we evolved
But here we are still fighting wars from the seventh century
The future ain't what it used to be
Hey there Nostradamas, where's the world you promised?
This place don't look much different to me
Go tell Gallileo in exelsius deo
The future ain't what it used to be
We walked on moving sidewalks and drove electric cars
But now we've got the internet and satellite T.V.
The future ain't what it used to be
We once had giant hovercrafts to sail the seven seas
We'd fly across the ocean just to buy our groceries
But only Richard Branson can afford such luxury
The future ain't what it used to be
Hey there Nostradamas, where's the world you promised?
This place don't look much different to me
Go tell Gallileo in exelsius deo
The future ain't what it used to be
We gazed through picture windows in our underwater homes
We lived in peace and harmony in cities under domes
But now the starving polar bear is drifting off to sea
The future ain't what it used to be
Hey there Nostradamas, where's the world you promised?
This place don't look much different to me
Go tell Gallileo in exelsius deo
The future ain't what it used to be
With every challenge overcome and every problem solved
Every race walked hand in hand oh my how we evolved
But here we are still fighting wars from the seventh century
The future ain't what it used to be
Hey there Nostradamas, where's the world you promised?
This place don't look much different to me
Go tell Gallileo in exelsius deo
The future ain't what it used to be
