| Lyrics: | Here we are, static in the latter half
of the twentieth century
but it might as well be
the Middle Ages,
there'll have to be some changes
but how they'll come about foxes
me.
I want the future now,
I want to hold it in my hands;
all men equal and
unbowed,
I want the promised land.
but that doesn't seem to get any closer,
and
Moses has had his day...
the tablets of law are an advertising poster,
civilisation here
to stay
and this is progress?
You must be joking!
Me, I'm looking for any kind of
hope.
I want the future now,
I want to see it on the screen,
I want to break the
bounds
that make our lives so mean.
Oh, blind, blinded, blinding hatred
of
race, sex, religion, colour, country and creed,
these scream from the pages of everything I
read.
You just bring me oppression and torture,
apartheid, corruption and plague;
you
just bring me the rape of the planet
and joke world rights at the Hague.
Oh, someday the
Millennium!
But how far is someday away?
I want the future now
I'm young, and it's my
right.
I want a reason to be proud.
I want to see the light.
I want the future
now,
I want to see it on the screen,
I want to break the bounds:
make life worth more
than dreams |
