Livin’ in the future is no better than living in the past
Livin’ in the future we’re never gonna make it there at last
Livin’ in the future there’s no absolute you can say
Tomorrow is an illusion, you never get past today
Livin’ in the future the job’s not getting done
Livin’ in the future you are the only one
Livin’ in the future what reality could be
By the time you get there’ll be something else to see
What will you have for me and where will I be when its ready
Lets make this happen here and now no need to fuss about how
It’s so easy to sit, plan, and hope
Livin’ in the future
Let us not talk about what is not present
And what we cannot do about it
Let’s see what we have to work with and what can be done
