Artist/Band: Meat Loaf
Lyrics for Song: The Future Ain't What It Used To Be
Lyrics for Album: Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose [2006]



[Boy:]

I never knew so many bad times

Could follow me so mercilessly

It's almost surreal all the pain that I feel

The future ain't what it used to be



It doesn't matter what they're thinking

It doesn't matter what they're thinking of me

It's always so cold and I'm to young to be old

The future ain't what it used to be



Were there ever any stars in the sky?

And did the sun ever shine so bright?

Do you have any dreams I could borrow

Just to get me through the lonely nights?



Is there anything left to hold on to

When the rivers wash it all away?

Is there anyone left to hold on to?

Is there anything left I can say?



Say a prayer for the falling angels

Stem the tide of the rising waters

Toll a bell for the broken hearted

Burn a torch for your sons and daughters



The endless night has got a hold of me

Dark days are pulling me forward

And all these tears are washing over me

And I'm crying - I'm lost forever

In a future that ain't what it used to be

A future that ain't what it used to be

A future that ain't what it used to be no more...

(no more, no more, no more)



[Girl:]

It's like a storm that's never ending

It's like a shadow on the land and the sea

There's nothing so sad as a tomorrow gone bad

The future ain't what it used to be, now



[Boy:]

Some days I feel so numb and empty

And those would be the good days for me

[Both:]

Nothing gets to me now unless I'm thinking of how

The future ain't what it used to be



[Boy:]

Were there ever any stars in the sky?

And did the sun ever shine so bright?

Do you have any dreams I could borrow

Just to get me through the lonely nights?



Is there anything left to hold on to

When the rivers wash it all away?

Is there anyone left to hold on to?

Is there anything left I can say?



Say a prayer for the falling angels

Stem the tide of the rising waters

Toll a bell for the broken hearted

Burn a torch for your sons and daughters



The endless night has got a hold of me

Dark days are pulling me forward

And all these tears are washing over me

And I'm crying - I'm lost forever

In a future that ain't what it used to be

A future that ain't what it used to be

A future that ain't what it used to be no more

[Girl:] No more, no more, no more, no more

[Boy:] No more

[Girl:] No more, no more, no more, no more...

[Boy:] No more, no more, no more, no more...



The future just ain't what it used to be

The future just ain't what it used to be

The future just ain't what it used to be

Oh, the future just ain't what it used to be

[Girl:] The future that ain't what it used to be no more...

Oh, the future just ain't what it used to be

[Girl:] The future that ain't what it used to be no more...

Hmmm, the future just ain't what it used to be

[Girl:] Aaah, the future, the future, the future, the future...

Oh, the future, the future, the future just ain't what it used to be

(the future just ain't what it used to be)

Oh, future just ain't what it used to be

Aaaaah, the future just ain't what it used to be

[Girl:] The future...



[Both:]

I wish it wouldn't come

I wish it wouldn't come

I wish it wouldn't come but it always does...
