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, 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)
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
Gimme the future with a modern girl
Gimme the future, gimme the future
Gimme the future with a modern girl
