The Way of the Future Lyrics

Wake up, hope ya don't get shot
Step out, hope ya don't get robbed
There's children killin' their selves
Who killed who else for killin' ourselves

Watch out, devils gotta get rich
Better stop, fallin' for these tricks
We're all killin' ourselves
Who killed who else for killin' ourselves

It's the way of the future
There's no place to hide
You promise to listen
I'll promise you life

Though these perfect politicians
They're smothered in grease
It's the way of the future
That don't work for me

Take back control
Fight for your soul

Hang on, let's all get offended
Keep on, poisonin' the system
There's just wrong and there's right
No black and no white
No right in this fight

Throw away, everything
You been told to believe
Break away, from these chains
We're supposed to be free
Yeah free

It's the way of the future
There's no place to hide
You promise to listen
I'll promise you life

Though these perfect politicians
Smothered in grease
It's the way of the future
That don't work for me

Take back control
Fight for your soul

It's the way of the future
There's no place to hide
You promise to listen
I'll promise you life

Though these perfect politicians
They're smothered in grease
It's the way of the future
That ain't working for me

Take back control
Fight for your soul

That's the way of the future
Yeah
