Future Games - Live 1972

I'd like to do the title track of of future games out now, which is called "Future Games"
It's uh, okay, litter
This song is a, a song about the future
There's a lot of concern about the future this days because of ecology and everything like that
It's, it's really important and that's what this song is about, but it's a positive song
A lot of people say the world is going to end in a couple years
Well If it is, I mean, everybody's going to seem be mellow anyway right? a lot of time to prepare
But this song was written high up in the mountains, the mountains of your mind
It was very high up written anyway, it was
And it was written in a very little atmosphere with two people sitting around, enduring each other very much
Trying to think of positive ways to get it all back together again

Did a thing last night
You know those future games
I turned off all the lights
Oh, the future came
You were by my side
Will you explain?
Oh yeah

Real rhyme or reason for those future games
Now, you were there last night
And oh, were you afraid
Of things we'd come upon
While playin' future games

But baby, it's alright and so have faith
Oh yeah
You invent this future that you want to face
How many people sit home at night
Wondering if they will be here tonight?
Wondering if children will he bring to the light?
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
Talking of journeys that happen in vain
Well I know I'm not the only one
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games

So you gotta take your time
You know there's no escape
The future sends a sign
Of things we will create
Baby it's alright
And so have faith
Oh yeah
You invent the future that you want to face

How many people sit home at night
Wondering if they will be here tonight
Wondering if children will he bring to the light
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
Talking of journeys that happen in vain
Well I know I'm not the only one
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games

Future games
Future games
Future games
Future games
Future games
