the future song

(album: new school - 2014)

I have a bike and I ride it around town
Seeing all the beautiful things in my neighbourhood
Listening to the breeze as it rolls out to sea
I wish that I could take you there with me
Time ticks by as I close my eyes and dream

Oh, the '70s are dead and gone
And the '80s were just the waste of new game shows
Then you and I was born and we wanted something more
And it's time for us to shine
And it's time to make things right

Oh, I sit in silence and watch the clouds go by
And try to make sense of each passing day
Though I'm not all alone, I still feel all alone
As I'm living in this lonely country

Oh, in 1989 things changed
And the world realized it's okay to turn the page
But what does that mean, and does it involve me?
'Cause it's time for us to shine
And it's time to make things right

I am a mime and I live inside a box
But you know that the walls isn't really there
One day I'll escape like the ghost of Kurt Cobain
And I'll sing about the way you still be
Life goes by as I look to the sky and scream

Oh, it's been about a hundred years
Since we all began hurriedly doing our thing
And we were almost there in the 60's
But there was just one thing left to do
Just to give birth to me and you

Oh, the '70s are dead and gone
And the '80s was just the waste of terrible news
Then you and I was born and we wanted something more
And it's time for us to shine
And it's time to make things right

Hey, mhmm
