(Song for the) Future

Hear the drums play forever
A sixteen beat with an element of surprise
A symphony of melodies of endeavor
Billy didn't blow his brains out after all
You've got to come down
Spend a little time in the future
You've got to come down
Spend a little time today
Humankind learns to live together
You can't do it now
So, I guess you never will
The grass is always green
The papers burns on forever
Probably the best way of life in the world
You've got to come down
Spend a little time in the future
You've got to come down
Spend a little time today
You've got to come down
Spend a little time in the future
You've got to come down
Spend a little time today
There's girls on top
And the world's gone boxing clever
It's a sad affair
But I wish that you were here
A symphony of melodies of endeavor
Billy didn't blow his brains out after all
You've got to come down
Spend a little time in the future
You've got to come down
Spend a little time today
You've got to come down
Spend a little time in the future
You've got to come down
Spend a little time today
You've got to come down
Spend a little time in the future
You've got to come down
Spend a little time today
You've got to come down
Spend a little time in the future
You've got to come down
Spend a little time today
You've got a role in the future
You've got a role in the future
