As a kid I heard them say
Forget about yesterday
Aim the future
I was promised better days
No diseases, no more pain
In the future
But it feels like trying to wake from an awful dream
We can hear mothers cry while their children scream for a home
Look what we've become
I feel trapped in a Black Mirror episode
Can you please tell me how can I crack the code and escape?
I wanna run away
Cars don't fly but we don't really need them to
I can't teleport but I can reach to you
And even still we choose to be a world apart
Future built a web but locked away our hearts
They said we would go to Mars
That there would be flying cars
In the future (in the future)
Now I look around and see
That the grown-ups lied to me
'Bout the future ('bout the future)
'Cause it feels like trying to wake from an awful dream
We can hear mothers cry while their children scream for a home
Look what we've become
I feel trapped in a Black Mirror episode
Can you please tell me how can I crack the code and escape?
I wanna run away
Cars don't fly but we don't really need them to
I can't teleport but I can reach to you
And even still we choose to be a world apart (a world apart)
Future built a web but locked away our hearts
Future built a web but locked away our hearts
