"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
