The Future Lyrics


Hear dis
They talk of the future like it's already the past
They talk of the future like today will never last
Talk of the future while their diggin' through your trash
Taxman come to remove your cash
They talk of the future like a criminal plans
Corporate robberies in far off lands
They tell you the future's a big wonderland
And that homeland security's got a career for you
Don't you believe what they told you before
It's the same frikin' lies that they'll tell you some more
They searchin' your bag as you're boardin' the plane
And they tellin' your neighbors that you ain't insane
I wouldn't believe that this was all comin' true
If I could not see with my eyes that it's true
Even still I hope the future gets here soon
Bring it on, bring it on
The future's comin' on like a bomb

The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Ready or not we're bringin' it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Ready or not we're bringin' it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
The future
They take all your privacy, give it away
For musical piracy lock you away
They tell you that war is a permanent thing
And American Idol kids really can sing
Potheads on a rescue mission, put your cancer in remission
People starvin', malnutrition, work your abs into condition
Oh no, now they after your soul
And they're tellin' you now that you're losin' control
Well, it's true cause I just got sick of it all
They say the savior's comin', he's down at the mall
He's signin' autographs and sellin' them all
Pick up the phone now and make the call
I wouldn't believe that this is all comin' true
If I could not see with my eyes that it's true
Even still I hope the future gets here soon
Bring it on, bring it on
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Ready or not we're bringin' it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Ready or not we're bringin' it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Stay for tomorrow, stay for tomorrow
They talk of the future like today will never last
Talk of the future like it's already past
Talk of the future while their diggin' through your trash
Taxman come to remove your cash
I hope the future gets here soon
Bring it on, bring it on
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Ready or not we're bringin' it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Ready or not we're bringin' it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Ready or not we're bringin' it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Ready or not we're bringin' it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
The future, the future
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
The future, the future
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Stay for tomorrow

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Michael Franti is a gifted and much-heralded spoken word artist and political activist from San Francisco, CA. As leader of the politically and socially-charged group Spearhead, Franti is at the forefront of hip-hop's renaissance, expanding the music's boundaries as he draws on funk and soul-driven beats. Through his music and poetry, Franti tackles a range of issues--the criminal justice system, corporatization of our daily lives, AIDS, gay rights, homelessness, the death penalty, drug addiction and suicide.

His project Spearhead produced the critically acclaimed Home in 1990. The album contained his biggest single, "Hole in the Bucket," a thoughtful lament on the plight of the homeless, and "Positive," which addressed the growing AIDS epidemic. The album boasted adept funk samplings, sinuous guitar vamps, and soulful, melodic tracks about family and social injustice. 1997's Chocolate Supa Highway was not as pop-friendly as Home, but neither did its themes of kidnappings and police brutality lend themselves to such overt accessibility. Its mixture of harsher musical styles -- techno, rock, and funk -- was a step forward for Franti as his world view broadened and deepened. In 2001, Franti released Stay Human. In it he expresses his anger at the system, his advocacy of love, and his belief in freedom through individuality and self-expression through a set of songs that revolve around a fictitious death penalty case. In it, his embrace of the genres that inspired him is achieved with eloquence.

Earlier projects of Franti include The Beatnigs and The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, which had more of an experimental/industrial sound, but addressed many of the same social/political issues.

As a celebration of the Election of Barack Obama Franti recorded the Obama Song, offered as a free track on downloaded at their offical website, www.michaelfranti.com/.
