Lyrics Future/Now - MC5

Future/Now

Screechin' useless martyrs
Hangin' naked upon the cross, yeah
They would have you believe
That the lie they shriek, that all is lost
Forget their logical desperation
Utilize your imagination
The future’s here right now
If you’re willing to pay the cost
The power crazy leaders
Who control your very fate
They would twist your will
Steal your life and sell your soul away
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 destiny
Here he comes, cosmopolitan enemy, yeah
Here they come, interstellar diplomats, yeah
Some say the truth was meant to be hidden
Others maintain nothing is forbidden
The key to the mystery…
And as our mind explodes in a post atomic dawn
The future breaks like a tidal wave, engulfing everyone
Confusion and chaos, trauma of birth
A strange new day for the people of the earth
Traditions burned away by the rising sun
