Future Shock Lyrics - Back To The World - Curtis Mayfield

Future shock 

Ooh, hoo 

Hey, little sister 

Where's your brother 

See your mother 

Standing on the soup line 

God bless your father 

Ain't got the strength 

To be bothered 

The almighty world 

Hear me now 

Whisper on 

To weigh him down 

We got to stop all men 

From messing up the land 

When won't we understand 

This is our last and only chance 

Everybody, it's a future shock 

Future shock, future shock 

Future shock, future shock 

All worldly figures 

Playing on niggers 

Oh, see them passing 

See how they're dancing 

To the superfly 

Oh, ain't it wrong 

When you don't know 

Where we come from 

Dancing in our youth 

Dying at the truth 

It ain't over 

(Over, over, ain't over) 

We got to stop all men 

From messing up the land 

When won't we understand 

This is our last and only chance 

Everybody, it's a future shock 

Future shock, future shock 

Future shock, future shock 

The price of the beat 

Higher than the dope in the street 

Is it any wonder 

For those with nothing to eat 

We got to stop all men 

From messing up the land 

When won't we understand 

This is our last and only chance 

Everybody, it's a future shock 

Future shock, future shock 

Future shock, future shock
