《The Future Now(2006 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Future Now (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:27] Here we are static in the latter half

[00:00:32] Of the twentieth century

[00:00:38] But it might as well be the Middle Ages

[00:00:41] There'll have to be some changes

[00:00:43] But how they'll come about foxes me

[00:00:49] I want the future now

[00:00:55] I want to hold it in my hands;

[00:01:00] All men equal and unbowed

[00:01:05] I want the promised land

[00:01:15] But that doesn't seem to get any closer

[00:01:17] And Moses has had his day

[00:01:22] The tablets of law are an advertising poster

[00:01:25] Civilisation here to stay

[00:01:29] And this is progress

[00:01:33] You must be joking

[00:01:37] Me I'm looking for any kind of hope

[00:01:42] I want the future now

[00:01:47] I want to see it on the screen

[00:01:53] I want to break the bounds

[00:01:58] That make our lives so mean

[00:02:43] Oh blind blinded blinding hatred

[00:02:46] Of race sex religion colour country and creed

[00:02:50] These scream from the pages of everything I read

[00:02:54] You just bring me oppression and torture

[00:02:57] Apartheid corruption and plague;

[00:03:00] You just bring me the rape of the planet

[00:03:02] And joke world rights at the Hague

[00:03:05] Oh someday the Millennium

[00:03:07] But how far is someday away

[00:03:11] I want the future now

[00:03:17] I'm young and it's my right

[00:03:22] I want a reason to be proud

[00:03:27] I want to see the light

[00:03:33] I want the future now

[00:03:38] I want to see it on the screen

[00:03:44] I want to break the bounds:

[00:03:49] Make life worth more than dreams
