lyrics

How's everyone do it, go to work everyday?
They say we're a free country, but we sure act like slaves.
Gotta go to work, we gotta pay off our cars,
But we've run out of time just to pick our guitars.

Drink beer and whiskey to forget about the day,
Complain to someone 'round us, but keep doing it anyway.
You say, "You don't understand, they're all depending on me,"
But while your caught up in the money, someone's raising your family.

While you're a thinking about what the future holds,
Thinking 'bout the future's gold.
Who knows what the future holds?
I know it is today!

Now we've gone on and elected our next president
On the basis we'll all keep our jobs so we can pay our rent.
The more mindless, the better, don't wanna work very hard,
Just wanna keep swiping this blue plastic card.

Who woulda thought a telephone would rule our lives?
Or that the internet would become a human right?
I know I'm not the only one thinking this way,
But I am the only one singing 'bout it in this house today.

Yeah, I'm a singing about what the future holds
Thinking about the future's goals
Who know's what the future holds?
I know it is today!

It's no wonder we've all got fat and hurt our wrists,
'Cause all we really ever do is push buttons and sit.
Speaking of which, I gotta write a paper, haven't gotten very far,
'Cause all I really wanna do is keep strumming and singing with this guitar.

Yeah I'm a singing about the future's goals,
Playing for the future's gold,
I know what the future holds
'Cause I'm singing today!
