Lyrics The Offspring

The Offspring

The Future Is Now

This city's made of diamonds

And tomorrow glass will grow

On the freedoms that divide us

They're coming after me

Flashback nineteen eighty-four

Now who's knock-knocking at your door?

A thought that starts a riot

They're coming after me now

Life is not the same

I am one but

Sparks turn into flames

Will you take what's in my head?

And erase me when I'm dead?

'Cause the future is now

Now I'm disappearing

The day has turned to night

Can you save me from the light?

'Cause the future is here

This is how I disappear

Running down a spiral

With the light of better men

Shouting progress is survival

Take one last look and see me

Now you see me, now you don't

No vow to break

No string of hope

My hero, your pariah

They're coming after me now

Life is just God's game

I am one but

Sparks turn into flames

And you get what you deserve

When revenge is what you serve

'Cause the future is now

Now I'm disappearing

I'll sink into the night

And I'm turning off the lights

'Cause the future is here

This is how I disappear

So the end's what you make it

And that's what you're looking for

This is the future

The future is now

Disappear, disappear

Disappear, disappear

Now turn off the lights

The skies are blue inside you

Turn off the lights

They'll get inside of you

Will you take what's in my head?

And erase me when I'm dead?

'Cause the future is now

Now I'm disappearing

The day has turned to night

Can you save me from the light?

'Cause the future is here

This is how I disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear
