The future is not as good as it used to be

The future is not as good as it used to be

Monorails above the city all of us love to ride

Tiny pills that you pop in your mouth with a sixteen-inch pizza inside

Jet-powered packs that you strap on your back and zip up into the sky

The future is not as good as it used to be

Picture telephones that let you look at to whom you are talking

Moving sidewalks take you to work so you don’t have to do any walking

Landing pads upon your roof for convenient hovercraft docking

The future is not as good as it used to be

Twenty-hour work weeks and everybody’s speaking esperanto

International worldwide government solving problems pronto

Colonies upon the moon and underwater condos

The future is not as good as it used to be

The future is not as good as it used to be

Dinosaurs are getting better
