Future Shock

We got to stop all men

From messin' up the land

When won't we understand

This is our last and only chance?

Everybody, it's a future shock

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hey, little sister

Where's your brother?

See your mother

Standing on the soup line

Oh, no, no

God bless your father

Ain't got the strength to be bothered

The almighty world, hear me now

Whisper on to weigh him down

We got to stop all men

From messin' up the land

When won't we understand

This is our last and only chance?

Everybody, it's a future shock

Future shock, future shock

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

(Mmm-mmm-mmm)

Future shock, future shock

Mm-hmm

All worldly figures

Playing on ****

Oh, see them passing

See how they're dancing to the Superfly

Oh, ain't it wrong

When you don't know where we come from?

Dancing in our youth

Dying at the truth, it ain't over

(Over, over, ain't over)

We got to stop all men

From messin' up the land

When won't we understand

This is our last and only chance?

Everybody, it's a future shock

Future shock

Future shock, future shock

Hey, big sister

Where's your mister?

Chained to the bomb

Tryna to be calm

It's alright

What's going on?

You seem always alone

Couldn't raise bail

Man, he's in jail

Get on

We got to stop all men

From messin' up the land

When won't we understand

This is our last and only chance?

Everybody, it's a future shock

Future shock, future shock

Future shock, future shock

The price of the beat

Higher than the dope in the street

Is it any wonder

For those with nothing to eat?

Some got it made

But still sweet songs fade

(Fade, fade, fade)

There's no love for his brother

No praise for another

Future shock, has it going on

Future shock, everyone's alone

Future shock, don't know the people

Future shock, pray for the steeple

Future shock, future shock

Future shock, yeah

Future shock
