This Used To Be The Future

(Tennant/Lowe; neoficialni verze textu)
|
I can remember when this was the future
|
Where it was gonna be at back then
|
Why don't we turn the whole bloody lot down
|
And make a new start all over again?
|
|
I can recall utopian thinking
|
Bold mission statements and tightening of belts
|
Demolition of familiar landmarks
|
Promises made and deals that were dealt
|
|
This used to be the future
|
Where it was at back then
|
Let's turn the whole bloody lot down
|
And start all over again
|
|
But that future was exciting
|
Science fiction made fact
|
Now all we have to look forward to
|
Is a sort of suicide pact
|
|
Was it the dear old future
|
That created the problems we face?
|
How do we deal with the fallout
|
Of the age we used to call space?
|
|
I can remember planning for leisure
|
Living in peace and freedom from fear
|
Science that promised to make us a new world
|
Religion and prejudice disappear
|
|
I can remember when this was the future
|
Where it was gonna be at back then
|
Now religion and nuclear energy have united
|
To threaten, oh God! Amen
|
|
This used to be the future
|
Where it was at back then
|
Now religion and nuclear energy have united
|
Oh God! Amen
|
|
Was it the dear old future
|
That created the problems we face?
|
How do we deal with the fallout
|
Of the age we used to call space?
|
|
This used to be the future
|
Where it was at back then
|
Let's turn the whole bloody lot down
|
And start all over again
|
|
amen
