Lyrics The Future That Never Was - Powerman 5000

The Future That Never Was

(Have you nothing to contribute? Have you nothing to contribute?
Have you nothing to contribute to a discussion
on which depends the world civilization, perhaps… perhaps even our very
existence?)
I know everything is never much
But the sound of the sound you heard was serious
So take back everything you ever got
Cause this is the future that
That never was
Right
That’s right
(I never would have imagined it would be anything like this)
Right
(I never would have imagined it would be anything like this)
The page has turned around from what it was
So maybe I’ll hate you now just because
The burden is tiresome and has become
The same as the future that
That never was
Right
That’s right
(I never would have imagined it would be anything like this)
Right
(I never would have imagined it would be anything like this)
The dream that you dreamed about
It never came
Step back and look around
Now who’s to blame
Your voice is weaker now
It’s just a buzz
That sounds like the future that
That never was
