"Future / Now" lyrics
"Future / Now"
Screechin' useless martyrs
Hangin' naked upon the cross, yeah
They would have you believe
By the lies they shriek that all is lost, yeah
Forget their logical desperation
Utilize your imagination
The future's here right now
If you're willing to pay the cost, huh
Yeah
The power crazy leaders
Who control your very fate, uh
They would twist your will
Steal your life, and sell your soul away, yeah
If you're drifting or wandering lost
You're the perfect target for the double cross
Freedom's yours right now, if you rule your own destiny, yeah
Here he comes, a cosmopolitan enemy, yeah
Listen, here they come, the interstellar diplomats, yeah
Some say the truth is meant to be hidden
Others maintain that nothing is forbidden
The key to the mystery
As our mind explodes in a post atomic dawn
The future breaks like a tidal wave, engulfing everyone
Confusion and chaos, the trauma of birth
A strange new day for the people of the Earth
Traditions burned away by that rising sun

The Velvet Underground & Nico - "Venus In Furs" Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark

I-I said F-L-Y
I say "buzz buzz buzz"

I got a garbage brain
That's drivin' me insane...
Television - "Guiding Light" Do I, do I
Belong to the night
Only, only
Only tonight
All the ladies stay inside
Time may freeze, a world could cry
All this night running loud
I hear the whispers, and I hear the shouts
And though...
