about

Best '80s dance track on the album. We used to think the future would be so cool. Well, it's here, and it's not quite as we expected. I wrote these lyrics in 1985 or so - I think I nailed much of it!

lyrics

2. IN THE FUTURE
In the future- We will be so at ease
In the future- We will do what we please
In the future- There will be no disease! In the future...
In the future- We’ll have driverless cars.
In the future- Everything will be ours
In the future- We'll be living on Mars! In the future...
chorus:
In the future- You will not have to shave
In the future- You'll have a permanent wave
In the future- There is nothing to crave
In the future- But you will have to behave
In the future- You'll have a beautiful face
In the future- You'll have impeccable taste
In the future- There'll be hotels in space! In the future...
In the future- You'll have mechanical pets
In the future- There'll be safe cigarettes
In the future- There'll be electronic debts! In the future...
rpt chorus
Where is the future of yesterday’s dreams?
In 3-D movies and sex magazines?
All of a sudden the answer is clear, the future is here
In the future- We'll have synthetic meats
In the future- We'll have polymer streets
In the future- We'll have self cleaning sheets! In the future…
In the future- There'll be video zoos
In the future- There'll be jet powered shoes
In the future- There'll be no time to loose! In the future...
