This Is The Future

I never thought my chances of contentment would be determined by a transistor
Sometimes it brings about resentment-still, I’m plugged in all the way
‘Cause every gadget’s an extension of my motives and my ego
And now that I am totally invested I’d be a fool to not upgrade

Could this be the future? I can feel it catching up to me
Could this be the future? With so many possibilities
Yes, this is the future

I never to the naysayers ‘cause it’s only sour grapes
The scientists are listening to my prayers-they have always saved the day
Could this be the future? I can feel it catching up to me
Could this be the future? Spinning faster and eternally
Yes, this is the future

You say the chances are slim that we can break on through
You say the future looks dim-it isn’t up to you
I buy the future each day on my credit card
It’s built right into my brain, so it is never far
Built into your brain, never far

Could this be the future? I can feel it catching up to me
Could this be the future? May it last for an eternity
Yes, this is the future
