Future Now

MC5 · Babes In Arms [1997]

Screechin' useless martyrs hangin naked upon the cross

They would have you believe the lie they shriek that all is lost

Forget their logical desperation, utilize your imagination

The future's here right now if you're willing to pay the cost

The power crazy leaders who control your very fate

They would twist your will, steal your life and sell your soul away

If you're drifting or wandering lost

You're the perfect target for the double cross

Freedom's yours right now, if you rule your own destiny

Here he comes, cosmopolitan ennemy

Here they come, interstellar diplomats

Some say the truth was meant to be hidden

Others maintain nothing is forbidden

The key to the mystery

And our mind explodes in a post atomic dawn

The future breaks like a tidal wave, engulfing everyone

Confusion and chaos, trauma of birth

A strange new day for the people of the

Earth Traditions, burned away by the rising sun
