1
I can remember when this was the future
2
Where it was gonna be at back then
3
Why don't we turn the whole bloody lot down
4
And make a new start all over again?
5
I can recall utopian thinking
6
Bold mission statements and tightening of belts
7
Demolition of familiar landmarks
8
Promises made and deals that were dealt
9
This used to be the future
10
Where it was at back then
11
Let's turn the whole bloody lot down
12
And start all over again
13
But that future was exciting
14
Science fiction made fact
15
Now all we have to look forward to
16
Is a sort of suicide pact
17
Was it the dear old future
18
That created the problems we face?
19
How do we deal with the fallout
20
Of the age we used to call space?
21
I can remember planning for leisure
22
Living in peace and freedom from fear
23
Science that promised to make us a new world
24
Religion and prejudice disappear
25
I can remember when this was the future
26
Where it was gonna be at back then
27
Now religion and nuclear energy have united
28
To threaten, oh God! Amen
29
This used to be the future
30
Where it was at back then
31
Now religion and nuclear energy have united
32
Oh God! Amen
33
Was it the dear old future
34
That created the problems we face?
35
How do we deal with the fallout
36
Of the age we used to call space?
37
This used to be the future
38
Where it was at back then
39
Let's turn the whole bloody lot down
40
And start all over again
41
Amen
