TV on the Radio

No Future Shock

you burned up all your credit

on a family of kids who pop your pills

and smoke your pipe

and after the war broke your piggy bank

the bastards broke the world this time

so we sleep with our guns

and no jive won't get done

but we're heavy-hand high

oh stuck in the middle of a

silly little riddle

control your dam, control

till it blows your mind

oh dance!

don't stop!

oh do the no future, do the no future shock

don't stop!

do the no future, do the no future

oh you're aware, blow your top

lord, do the no future, do the no future

oh you're aware, blow your top

oh do the no future, do the no future

oh mother dear, did they really cop a feel

before they robbed you blind?

we're all lacking nourishment

we searched around the world

looks like a man's gonna drop

tell it to me, baby girl

fall into this burning world

are you ready?

here comes the cop to lock us up for smoking

crack well...blow mountaintops

are you ready?

oh dance!

don't stop!

do the no future, do the no future shock

don't stop!

do the no future, do the no future shock

don't stop!

do the no future, do the no future shock

don't stop!

oh do the no future, do the no future

honey and it's burning blood money

so i leave the motor running all night

absurdities confirming me

like want to start them up

'cause here, funny, it just doesn't seem right (so tight!)

...in the fishery

clean water running out of sight

come on come on

see the whores transforming

feel it...

oh drop

and bounce

and shake it shake it like it is the end of time

oh see that you get down

in the town

in the country in the city in the middle of a beautiful

get-left-behind

oh work it out

...

get ready

...

father to the mother:

what went wrong?

i can't say no, won't live too long

hold it steady

girl, it falls apart

don't stop

oh do the no future do the no future

don't stop

do the no future do the no future shock

don't stop

do the no future do the no future shock
