Modern World

歌詞

In the future that we used to imagine The one they pictured in those old magazines Their tomorrow-land is so old fashioned A delusion of the modern dream But they had a skyway to the city towers And we're still rocking over stones and tar I've been crawling down the freeway for hours I want my fusion-powered flying car This ain't the modern world that I remember The one they promised all us boys and girls This ain't the vision that the artist rendered What happened to my modern world? They said my leisure time was gonna be bitchin I'd have my holographic TV phone And we'd be cooking in our One Button kitchen In our aluminum dymaxion home With the enlightened ones leading the nations Bringing peace around the world at last A utopia of cooperation Where injustice is a thing of the past It's just a bunch of big baby boomers Trying to snatch the last cookie and run It's such a comfort to the guilty consumer If Armageddon had already begun 'Cause if the world's a box of chocolate cherries Then they can use it up and toss it away They make it post-apocalyptic and scary To even dream about the future today
