Woke up in the future But nothing’s shiny and new The world of tomorrow Looks battered and abused
Robots riddled with rust Circuits gathering dust Waiting in twilight For you
This is a used future You thought it was yours to explore This is a used future Feels like been here before
Lights on the horizon May not be what they seem Can’t remember a time before now That doesn’t feel like a dream
The promises of prophets Are not enough to stop it The odds are getting narrow That the target hits the arrow And no clever retort Will suffice to deflect it
Hold tight All night In the morning you can look around And see
You’re in a used future You thought it was yours to explore This a used future Feels like we’ve been here before Used future Everything that rises must fall It’s just a new suture On an old wound that cuts through us all
