Future Tense |
What do you see on the news when you watch T. V |
War in the name of God, or a playground killing spree |
Politicians promise you the world, and a preacher cries |
All he ever wanted was your money, and a bitch on the side |
What went wrong? |
Did society twist him? |
What do you see in the center of the public eye |
Rock stars on smack, and a serial killer fries |
Radicals blame suicide and murder on our from of art |
Brainwash the youth, you know they claim we all play a part |
What a shame that they can’t think for themselves |
Past tense to future tense let history unfold |
So ends a decade now what will the nineties hold |
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age |
Then another century will turn the page |
What do you think they will say when they look back on this |
Were the eighties just a time of spoiled innocence |
We leave our legacy like dust in the sands of time |
Let’s hope the seeds we plant can carry the weight of our crimes |
Past tense to future tense let history unfold |
And when we’re old and gray these stories will be told |
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age |
Then another century will turn the page |
We sail an ocean, a sea of doubt |
Skeptics make no sense, can’t work things out |
I’ll choose optimism, scream its name |
Look to the future, a burning flame |
Past tense to future tense let history unfold |
So ends a decade now what will the nineties hold |
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age |
Then another century will turn the page |
Turn the page… |
