As a kid I heard them say "Forget about yesterday Aim the future" I was promised better days No diseases, no more pain In the future But it feels like trying to wake from an awful dream We can hear mothers cry while their children scream for a home Look what we've become I feel trapped in a Black Mirror episode Can you please tell me how can I crack the code and escape? I wanna run away Cars don't fly but we don't really need them to I can't teleport but I can reach to you And even still we choose to be a world apart Future built a web but locked away our hearts They said we would go to Mars That there would be flying cars In the future (in the future) Now I look around and see That the grown-ups lied to me 'Bout the future ('bout the future) 'Cause it feels like trying to wake from an awful dream We can hear mothers cry while their children scream for a home Look what we've become I feel trapped in a Black Mirror episode Can you please tell me how can I crack the code and escape? I wanna run away Cars don't fly but we don't really need them to I can't teleport but I can reach to you And even still we choose to be a world apart (a world apart) Future built a web but locked away our hearts Future built a web but locked away our hearts
