The Future
A&H Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey, did you hear the news today ?
Someone just got killed in Boston.
Say, say, you'll get to hear it anyway,
They smoked him out with a gas bomb.

Future fugitives, future fugitives,
You're getting in the way.
Future fugitives, future fugitives,
No time to have your say.

When, when will the streets be safe walk ?
With none there to harm me.
Why, why, should we listen to the talk,
The blind are leading those who can see.

Now, now, is the time we've gotta act,
And save our skins from desruction.




Go, go and seal the pact,
Stop the forthcoming eruption.
