Is This The Future?

Is this the future
Is this what we wanted
Is this the future
I don't think I want it
Hard to know if things will be okay
And I know it seems so far away
So far away

I thought the future
Would be better than this
Something 'bout hoverboards and flying cars
Turns out the future
Ain't nothing but the glitz
We haven't even had our first round trip to mars

We're walking the pave laid by a lack of closeness
The currency game is slowly flooding the shore
We're losing diamonds in the rough
The local news is mostly snuff
Now wonder it's getting hard to breathe

Is this the future
Is this what we wanted
Is this the future
I don't think I want it
Hard to know if things will be okay
And I know it seems so far away
So far away

And that's not to say humanity is hopeless
But at the end of the day there ain't a lot of rapport
Discovering the world is queer
Shouldn't be a thing I fear
After all, we're all just here to be

Is this the future
Is this what we wanted
Is this the future
I don't think I want it
Hard to know if things will be okay
And I know it seems so far away
So far away
So far away
