The Future That Was Lyrics - Josh Joplin Group

Jesus, the world is falling to pieces 

Will you come back and be our hero and release us? 

And if so, will you get your own show? 

And we'll be saved and well behaved 

And you'll be famous 

Here's to the future that was 

Everything you thought it'd be but 

Was it anything you thought of? 

Here's to the future that was 

Thomas, a new century's upon us 

You were enlightened but you weren't very honest 

I know, was a long time ago 

And things change and people change 

And both have changed us 

Here's to the future that was 

Everything you thought it'd be but 

Was it anything you thought of? 

Here's to the future that was 

Samuel, your son is quite a handful 

His grades are bad, he can't do math 

And he tends to ramble 

Our tests show that he's a bit slow 

If he receives the help he needs 

He'll ride the same bus 

Here's to the future that was 

Everything you thought it'd be but 

Was it anything you thought of? 

Here's to the future that was fine
