Professor, I've been pondering some questions in my mind.
What will planet Earth be like
In a 100 years time?
Will man be strolling on the moon,
Made fact from science fiction?
Settle down, my eager lad
I'll tell you my prediction
In the year 2000 of our Lord
Our boats will sail on wheels
And far-off lands will be explored
By dragons made of steel
So no more walking?
Not as much
Look, moving city streets
And that's just the beginning
Wow, the future's looking sweet!
The future is exciting,
It's new and fresh -and how!-
But people used to dream about the wolrd we live in now
Professor, I've been wondering
What is the future like?
The present seems so boring,
That it keeps me up at night
Ah, scientists can create a partner
If you're feeling lonely
And floating taco trucks will
Serve fantastic guacamole
A chip designed, to read your mind
And broadcast all your feelings
And giant springs that line the walls
And floors, and doors and ceilings!

Skipping for the century
Perspectives are the same
Even though there's no disease
They're sick of the mundane
It's clear to me technology
Is best viewed from afar
Once the gadget's in your hands
Won't you want to
Raise the bar
Don't you agree?
Sorry dear professor
I've missed everything you said
But soon they say my grandpa
Could be brought back, from the dead
Chandeliers will brew our beers
While palm trees sprout out pies
I'll have a panda-exoskeleton
And shoot lasers from my eyes!
Look around, enjoy the now
Before it slips away
You're living in the future
That they dreamt of yesterday
Yes you're living in the future
That they dreamt of yesterday
We're living in the future
That they dreamt of yesterday!!
