When I was ten years old I remember thinking how cool it would be
When we were goin' on an eight hour drive ♪ If I could just watch TV ♪ And I'd-a given anything To have my own Pac-Man game at home I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
And now I've got it on my phone Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah ♪ Welcome to the future ♪ My grandpa was in World War II He fought against the Japanese ♪ He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma ♪ Mailed them from his base in the Philippines ♪ I wish they could see this now The world they saved has changed, you know
'Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo Hey, every day's a revolution ♪ Welcome to the future ♪ (Hey) Look around, it's all so clear (Hey) Wherever we were goin', well we're here (Hey) So many things I never thought I'd see ♪ Happening right in front of me ♪ I had a friend in school Running back on the football team They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the homecoming queen ♪ I thought about him today And everybody who's seen what he's seen ♪ From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream Hey, wake up Martin Luther ♪ Welcome to the future Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah ♪ Welcome to the future
