The Future

Ted Leo

[Verse 1]
Struggle to begin, killing time again
The old hermetic ritual of burying the wren
Sunlight on the desk, lumens dirty threads
Dignify distractions, only beautifies the mess

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The more you've done, the less you want it
The morning comes, and ooh, you want it right away
That's what's up today

[Chorus]
The future is learning to wait around
For things you didn't know you wanted to wait for

[Verse 2]
C'mon, give a kiss to the spinning rainbow disc
A sneaking singularity with meditated hiss
The promise of the apps versus time elapsed
All returns diminish us and we ain’t growing back

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Once you've paid the rent, you've spent it
No more reason to resent ad nauseum
We know just where it went

[Chorus]
The future is learning to wait around
For things you didn't know you wanted to wait for

[Bridge]
[?]

[Verse 3]
So c'mon, treasured friend, your love I must depend
On you and your humanity, though we can't see all ends

[Chorus]
The future is learning to wait around
For things you didn't know you wanted to wait for
The future is learning to wait around
For things you didn't know you wanted to wait for

[Chorus]
The future is learning to wait around
For things you didn't know you wanted to wait for
The future is learning to wait around
For things you didn't know you wanted to wait for

[Outro]
Wait for, you wanted to wait for
Wait for, you wanted to wait for
Wait for, you wanted to wait for
Wait for, you wanted to wait for
