The Future
[Verse 1]
Can't help but wonder about
What's underneath these city streets
The wires and cables tangled up
Connecting everything
And down below, we'll find the bones
Of people from the past
People with dreams about the future

[Pre-Chorus]
And when we die
Our empty bodies turn to dust
There'll be no pit of fire
No angels singing songs for us
There's nothing we can say
That people won't forget someday
There's nothing we can do that matters
And that's okay

[Chorus]
Just when you think you got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put you in the ground
Just when I think I got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put me in the ground
[Post-Chorus]
Just when I think I got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put me in the ground

[Verse 2]
Ain't got much faith in God
Or modern-day mythology
The lies and fables, fate and luck
Directing everything
So down we go like dominoes
Our lives go by too fast
Nobody lives to see the future

[Pre-Chorus]
And when we die
Buildings and bridges left to rust
No heaven in the sky
No pearly gates on clouds 'n' stuff
The monuments we built
Will crumble and decay someday
There's nothing we can do that matters

[Chorus]
Just when you think you got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put you in the ground
Just when I think I got it all worked out
That's probably when they'll put me in the ground
[Refrain]
The future
Hey!

[Bridge]
I wanna laugh as many times
As I can before I die
I wanna love, I wanna smile
I don't need much, I'm a simple child
I wanna laugh as many times
As I can before I die
I wanna love, I wanna smile
Just wanna fuck every once in a while
I just wanna fuck every once in a while

[Chorus]
I think I finally got it all worked out
Somebody, come and put me in the ground
I think I finally got it all worked out
Somebody, come and put me in the ground

[Outro]
Can't help but wonder about
What's underneath these city streets
The wires and cables tangled up
Connecting everything
