Golden visions flash across the silver screen Passing fancies dance through fashion magazines Let me close my eyes and dream Take me to a future scene It'll be a better world when I wake up monday morning It's the future now It's the future now Don't turn back, move ahead it's the future now On the fault line people live from day to day Come tomorrow we'll all dine on silver trays Let me close my eyes and dream Take me to a future scene Such a pretty world when I wake up monday morning It's the future now It's the future now Don't turn back, move ahead it's the future now Heat of passion bursts in flames out in the streets Cold glass towers turn to dust beneath my feet I open up my eyes and scream It's not the way it's supposed to be Will there be a world at all when I wake up monday morning It's the future now It's the future now Don't turn back, move ahead it's the future now Don't turn back, move ahead it's the future now Don't turn back, move ahead it's the future now
