Rockets in flight
I'm dropping a bomb
on you
Its over tonight
I'm Dropping a bomb
on you
I cant take no more
Let me go
Just let me
I cant take no more
Let me go
Just let me
I cant take no more
Let me go
Just let me
I cant take no more
Let me go
Just let me
I hear the sirens blare in the streets
Scaring the people that I meet there
They sound
for you
I see the smoke from the missile tail
Writing the message without fail
up there
Coming for you
Rockets in flight
I'm dropping a bomb
on you
Its over tonight
I'm Dropping a bomb
on you

Welcome to the future
Leave your body in the past
This newest model's built to last forever
A new life waits for you and me
Within the off-world colonies
I know that we'll be happy there together
I've a devastating creeping fear
A thought that never seems to go away
That this future's very different
from the one that I imagined yesterday
and I know I cannot trust you
No I cant believe a single thing you say
Still I try to understand you
But the words you speak keep getting in the way
Welcome to the future
Leave your body in the past
This newest model's built to last forever
The C-Beams glitter silently
Just beyond the gate
And Armageddon for your viewing pleasure
Dystopian society
The age of high technology
Our flesh and metal symphony
Transcending our biology
The symbiotic man-machine's
Dark future leather fantasy
Of cyberpunk reality
Embedded in my circuitry
I've a devastating creeping fear
A thought that never seems to go away
That this future's very different
from the one that I imagined yesterday
and I know I cannot trust you
No I cant believe a single thing you say
Still I try to understand you
But the words you speak keep getting in the way
Dreams fade to dust
But memories remain
Time marches on
I really can't complain
All if the world
Have moved on with their lives
So I 'll meet you there
in 1985
Welcome to the Fut-
(Synth Solo)

Will you remember for me as I fall asleep
A future where I'm dreaming of electric sheep
I hope you know its not the way I wanted things to be today
The Future's here and here to stay
Yeah memories are cheap that's what they say
They said we'd boldly go where no mans gone before
But that was just a TV show
My feet are planted firmly on the floor
and Ive accepted as I've gotten on in years
My place out in the final frontier's
Stuck inside the space between my ears
We live in fear of the machines
But they're corporate and their government
and made of human beings
and hackers aren't heroes
and vigilantes fail
and both of them get caught and in the end
end up in jail
Help I'm stuck here in the present
and I can't escape the boredom
Is there anybody out there
Will you save me from the disappointment
Tell me that you read me
Tell me that you read me
Help I'm stuck here in the present
and I can't escape the boredom
Is there anybody out there
Will you save me from the disappointment
Tell me that you read me
cause your future never happened
Mine is looking darker than I ever had imagined
The prospect of the wasteland
Is starting to sound cute
since neither Russia nor the USA
will ever launch a nuke
I know the truth about The Matrix
but I never understood
why the movie has three sequels yeah
and none of them are good
and since Techno's sounding dated
and since Cyber's getting stale
and technology is mostly
about marketing and sales
and leather's out of fashion
and trench coats aren't cool
and anyone who wears them is a loser and a fool
Please somebody tell me
You're receiving this transmission
and you're coming here to save me
from these terrible conditions
I'm the hero of my story
but the plot's become the villain
and there is no happy ending
If you're able and you're willing
Help I'm stuck here in the present
and I can't escape the boredom
Is there anybody out there
Will you save me from the disappointment
Tell me that your read me
Cause your future never happened
Mine is looking darker than I eve had imagined
Help I'm stuck here in the present
and I can't escape the boredom
Is there anybody out there
Will you save me from the disappointment
Tell me that you read me
Tell me that you read me
Help I'm stuck here in the present
and I can't escape the boredom
Is there anybody out there
Will you save me from the disappointment
Tell me that you read me
cause your future never happened
Mine is looking darker than I ever had imagined

I try to understand the people
But they aren't making sense
Its like they speak another language
that I can't translate
but I know it's hateful
and I wonder why the world's so dark
did I always feel this low
as I walk on through the valley
While my heart is growing cold
I try
to run
from all of the mistakes that I have made
I try
to run
from all of the mistakes that I have made
It's getting colder in my melancholy heart
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
We all live beneath the steeple
of a god who doesn't care
One who preys upon the people
You can feel the malice in the air
and I wonder why the world's so dead
did I always feel this low
as I walk on through the valley
while my heart is growing cold
I try
to run
from all of the mistakes that I have made
I try
to run
from all of the mistakes that I have made
It's getting colder in my melancholy heart
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
I try
to run
from all of the mistakes that I have made
I try
to run
from all of the mistakes that I have made
I try
to run
from all of the mistakes that I have made
I try
to run
from all of the mistakes that I have made
It's getting colder in my melancholy heart
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
and regret comes pouring down
like acid rain
I feel the pain yeah
