The Future

Can't help but wonder 'bout what's underneath these city streets

The wires and cables tangled up, connecting everything

And down below, we'll find the bones of people from the past

People with dreams about the future

And when we die, our empty bodies turn to dust

There'll be no pit of fire

No angels singing songs for us

There's nothing we can say that people won't forget someday

There's nothing we can do that matters

And that's okay

Just when you think you've got it all worked out

That's probably when they'll put you in the ground

Just when I think I've got it all worked out

That's probably when they'll put me in the ground

Ain't got much faith in God or modern-day mythology

The lies and fables, fate, and luck directing everything

So down we go like dominoes; our lives go by too fast

Nobody lives to see the future

And when we die, buildings and bridges left to rust

No heaven in the sky, no pearly gates on clouds and stuff

The monuments we build will crumble and decay someday

There's nothing we can do that matters

Just when you think you've got it all worked out

That's probably when they'll put you in the ground

Just when I think I've got it all worked out

That's probably when they'll put me in the ground

I wanna laugh as many times as I can before I die

I wanna love, I wanna smile; I don't need much, I'm a simple child

I wanna laugh as many times as I can before I die

I wanna love, I wanna smile, just wanna fuck every once in a while

I just wanna fuck every once in a while

I think I've finally got it all worked out

Somebody come and put me in the ground

I think I've finally got it all worked out

Somebody come and put me in the ground

Can't help but wonder 'bout what's underneath these city streets

The wires and cables tangled up, connecting everything
