lyrics

we got terraformed hills and plastic trees
machines to replace all the honey bees
we got oil rigs stickin up outta the sea
working towards the next catastrophe
we got bionic limbs and robotic brains
people homesteading outer space
we've made a lot of progress as a human race
but our lives and our planet is the price we're gonna pay
we got methadone for all the addicts who crave
artificial ways of staying sane
genetically modified fruits and grain
chemicals to treat the cancer we create
we got riot gear and atom bombs
we got our ways to make you talk
unaware of how we control your thoughts
we'll get what we want and we're not gonna stop..
cause the future is here and i'm fucking scared
it aint just and it aint fair
and a consumer society is never gonna care
til we can't consume the water and we can't consume the air
and all the rights they take away
and all the ways they subjugate
and how willingly we became their slaves
oh no one's gonna care til its too late
can't sleep? we got a pill for that
pills to take if you think you're fat
pills to crush up and feed your brat
til he's dead inside just like mom and dad
and we'll hawk those pills on the tv sets
convince the confused that they're depressed
speed through the list of side effects
talk to your doctor! we're cutting his checks
we got our mega churches and huge estates
sirloin steaks on china plates
hearts full of greed and full of hate
with a stamp that reads 'made in USA'
we're shittin out babies and we're so damn proud
when they're old enough to drive the hoverround
and the little boxes we've got now
look just the same as everybody else
cos the future is here and im terrified
everyone my age looks dead inside
become a husk by the age of twenty five
its the american way, jesus christ boy have some pride!
get a gun, cos that'll totally stop
our governments army of crooked cops
doesn't fucking matter if youre a pretty good shot'
theyll get what they want and they're not gonna stop
cos the future is here and ive got no doubt
our problems are gonna be hard to surmount
but our time and our options are running out
we gotta change what we can and we gotta do it now.
