Beautiful Future Lyrics by Primal Scream

Beautiful Future

2008

[Verse 1]
Take a ride around your city
Tell me, what do you see
Empty houses, burnin' cars
Naked bodies hangin' from the trees
Don't say what you're thinkin'
Just think before you say
If you say the wrong thing
The man is gonna come and take you away

[Chorus]
Oh
You got a beautiful future
A beautiful future
Oh
You got a beautiful future
A beautiful future

[Verse 2]
You tell me, baby, it's good to be free
Oh, can't you see you've never been free?
You live by the sword, you die by the sword
You're only free to buy the things you can't afford
The flash car, the house in the country
The sexy wife, the beautiful children
Congratulations, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine

[Chorus]
Oh
You got a beautiful future
A beautiful future
Oh
You got a beautiful future
A beautiful future

[Bridge]
Are you headed for the gas chamber?
You want a seat in the electric chair?
We got a noose if you wanna hang around
Or maybe a little torture to tousle up your hair
You got a beautiful future

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Take a ride around your city
Tell me, what do you see
Pretty houses, expensive cars
Golden apples hangin' from the trees

[Chorus]
Oh
You got a beautiful future
A beautiful future
Oh
You got a beautiful future
A beautiful future

[Outro]
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
Oh-oh, you're livin' the dream
Another dead heart at the control machine
