Welcome To The Future
When I was ten years old,
I remember thinkin' how cool it would be,
when we were goin' on an eight hour drive,
if I could just watch T.V.
And I'd have given anything
to have my own PacMan game at home.
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade;
Now I've got it on my phone.
He-e-ey...
Glory glory hallelujah.
Welcome to the future.
My grandpa was in World War II,
he fought against the Japanese.
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma;
mailed em from his base in the Philippines.
I wish they could see this now,
where they say this change can go.
Cause I was on a video chat this morning
with a company in Tokyo.
He-e-ey...
Everyday is a revolution.
Welcome to the future.
He-e-ey...
Look around it's all so clear.
He-e-ey...
Wherever we would go and well we...
He-e-ey...
So many things I never thought I'd see...
happening right in front of me.
I had a friend in school,
running-back on a football team,
they burned a cross in his front yard
for asking out the home-coming queen.
I thought about him today,
everybody who's seen what he's seen,
from a woman on a bus
to a man with a dream.
He-e-ey...
Wake up Martin Luther.
Welcome to the future.
He-e-ey...
Glory glory hallelujah.
Welcome to the future.
