The Future is Great!!! Lyrics by The View UpStairs Original Off-Broadway Cast

The View UpStairs

2017

[WES]
The future is bright
Fabulous and carefree
The gays run half of Hollywood
And hold hands publicly
Bullying's not half as bad
As kids would like to claim
Besides, it gives them something to vlog about
On their quest for instant fame
Oh! And gay marriage now is legal
Though in four years, who can say?
You get depressed, you shop online
For discount Gaultier!
Trailer trash make millions off reality TV
Ain't it great how far we've come
Since 1973?
Yeah, the future is great!
There you are what you own
[WES & CAST]
If I could take you back with me
Your mind would be blown
[WES]
Being fabulous all the time
Can get a little pricey...
But the future is great! Trust me
You meet blue-eyed boys with cheekbones
That could cut clear through steel
Who hide in corners clutching
Overpriced drinks like a shield
While they pray to be seen
But a look into their eyes gives you the freeze –
It's like they botoxed their souls
Or maybe they're just scared of the disease...
Since talking is tedious
Now iPhones are preferred
You can know everything about a boy
Without saying a word
And if it turns out that he's useless
When he gets down on his knees
At least he'll go when you cum
[CAST]
Cum
Cum cum!
[WES]
And leave no unwanted mysteries
Yeah, the future is great!
Don't you agree?
[WES & CAST]
Sex is quick, convenient, and usually free
[WES]
Sometimes I fear I'll never learn how to love...
But the future is great... Sort of
I never had a mentor
I've been out since I was ten
But sometimes I wish
I'd been born different now and then –
Maybe that's the reason
I've a talent for design
I'm my biggest best creation
Can't you tell I turned out fine?
[CAST]
Fine!
[WES]
But I guess you're also lucky
Living in the seventies
There's no need to wear a condom
You can slut it up guilt-free
Nowadays we have fancy drugs
To help us all forget...
How the eighties came and killed all your friends
You just don't know it yet
But the future is great
I can't wait to get back and take little
White pills for each panic attack
Just under the tongue, in ten seconds I'm free
And I don't have to think
About how great life's supposed to be
