Once a beautiful Miss America
|
married Mr. Right
|
Had a little baby girl,
|
born on a stormy night
|
But that was once upon a time,
|
now it's a brand new world
|
|
Gimme the future, gimme the future,
|
gimme the future with a modern girl
|
|
Gimme the future, gimme the future,
|
gimme the future with a modern girl
|
|
Somewhere just between the past and somethin' dawnin' new
|
There's a break in the chain,
|
there's a skip in the clock
|
Girl that's where I'm gonna find you
|
|
Between the boy I was before and what I'm gonna be
|
There's a clash on the border,
|
a flame in the sky
|
Girl that's where you're gonna find me
|
|
Can't you hear the planet groanin' like a broken down machine
|
Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
|
But you and I stand innocent,
|
baby it's a brand new world
|
|
Gimme the future, gimme the future,
|
gimme the future with a modern girl
|
Gimme the future, gimme the future,
|
gimme the future with a modern girl
|
|
(Gimme the future, gimme the future,
|
gimme the future with a modern girl)
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway
|
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
|
Laughin' while the road maps blow away
|
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
|
We're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid
|
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
|
Won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made
|
(Gimme the future with a modern girl)
|
|
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
|
oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
|
(Gimme the future, gimme the future)
|
oh, gimme the future with a modern girl
|
|

Gimme the future, gimme the future -
|
gimme the future with a modern girl...
