The Future (Live)
It's a little surprise
This is a song by Prince
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
And if there's life after, we will see
So I can't go like a jerk
Systematic overthrow of the underclass
Hollywood conjures images of the past
Our new world needs spirituality that will last
I've seen the future, I've seen the future
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
And if there's life after, we will see
So I can't go like a jerk
Yellow Smiley offers me X
Like he's drinking 7-Up
Huh, I would rather drink six razor blades
Razor blades from a paper cup
Said, "You can't understand, it ain't too tough"
I said that I've seen the future and boy, it's rough
And I said that, "I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it's rough"
And I said that, "I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it's tough"
Yeah, pretty pony on the avenue
Packing a loaded pistol, too dumb to be true
Somebody told him playing cops and robbers was cool
Would our lives have been different if we only knew?
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
And if there's life after, we will see
And so came home like a jerk
Yeah, I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it's rough
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it's tough
Alright
This is a song by Prince

Our new world needs spirituality that will last
I've seen the future, I've seen the future
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works

Yeah, I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it's rough
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it's tough
Alright
