The Future Lyrics by Spiraling

Time Travel Made Easy

2008

[Verse 1]
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the future we were counting on
This is not the world every boy and every girl envisioned
From the time we learned we all were growing up

[Chorus]
Modern life is hard
Without a flying car
This is not the future we were promised, whoa

[Verse 2]
This is not the picture we were painting
This is not the model we oncе saw
There are no instructions now for living
Thеre are no more plans for us to draw

[Chorus]
When everything you love to do
Turns out to be hurting you
This is not the future we were promised

[Instrumental Break]
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Bridge]
Tired of the good old days
So through the crystal ball we gaze
To the future, whoa
And there must be a better way
To make a change, we'll start today
For the future, whoa

[Chorus]
Modern life is much too hard
With no jet packs or flying cars
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the future we were promised
This is not the future we were
