"in the future" lyrics

Two, three, four

Not very much money grows on trees anymore
'Cause we burned them all down
Those trees are gone, new trees will grow
Nothing feels the same as the way it did before
Nothing seems as plain as the way it was before
No one can explain what is happening to Earth
Not very much money grows on trees anymore
In the future

Not very many people like to breathe anymore
'Cause it's not allowed (Not allowed)
Nothing feels as strange as the way it did before
Some days it rains, but that makes it worse
Not very many people know what's real anymore
In the future

So when is it?
Will it be soon? What's gonna happen?
When will this thing get started?
How am I supposed to know if it all works out?

'Cause I know what this means to you
Do you know what it means for me?
In the future, I believe things go a little differently
You've got to know
There's some things I want to see
When's the future gonna be?
In the future, I believe

Not very many people go to sleep anymore
'Cause the sun won't go down
And it's daytime all day, and it's daytime all night
Nothing ever goes wrong, nothing ever goes right
No one says hello, and no one says goodbye
No one gets confused 'cause no one ever lies
Not very many people know what's real anymore
In the future

So when is it?
Is it tomorrow? Will it be the next day?
When will this thing get started?
How am I supposed to know what it's all about?

'Cause I know what this means to you
And you know what it means for me
Is the future out of reach?
Oh, won't you see?
This is everything to me
When's the future gonna be?
In the future, I believe

Not very many people know of a better way to get from now into the future
