In the future that we used to imagine The one they pictured in those old magazines Their tomorrowland is so old fashioned A delusion of the modern dream But they had a skyway to the city towers And were still rocking over stones and tar Ive been crawling down the freeway for hours I want my fusionpowered flying car This aint the modern world that I remember The one they promised all us boys and girls This aint the vision that the artist rendered What happened to my modern world? They said my leisure time was gonna be bitchin Id have my holographic TV phone And wed be cooking in our One Button kitchen In our aluminum dymaxion home With the enlightened ones leading the nations Bringing peace around the world at last A utopia of cooperation Where injustice is a thing of the past Its just a bunch of big baby boomers Trying to snatch the last cookie and run Its such a comfort to the guilty consumer If Armageddon had already begun Cause if the worlds a box of chocolate cherries Then they can use it up and toss it away They make it postapocalyptic and scary To even dream about the future today
