The future ain’t what it used to be, I looked at you, and you looked at me What has become of our reality? I looked in the mirror, is that really me?

The future ain’t what it used to be! I had a feeling, by now I would be free That I would be up flying high, Through the forest like a honey bee.

The future ain’t what it used to be! Where is the first place to start? I wonder you and I can see, The blackness that is in my heart 

The future ain’t what it used to be! How the hell do I see To make the future Be what I want it to be?

The future ain’t what it used to be! The noise, confusion, and nonsense Do I need to bend the knee, To tap into my subconscious?

The future ain’t what it used to be! I have to choose to pay attention; To be free to the continued media noise and speculation 

The future ain’t what it used to be! To know the truth The truth will set you free, And that you create your own reality
