|
Old man sitting by the side of the road |
|
He's not watching the birds today |
|
He's not watching the sunset like he always does |
|
He's looking at the future |
|
He has seen the past |
|
School boy passes by interrupts his thoughts |
|
He said sir, can you spare me a dollar |
|
I got to make in time for my grade 8 class |
|
I am fresh out of cigarettes |
|
And I can't be late |
|
The old man said |
|
Chorus |
|
The world is changing |
|
Take your time, look around |
|
Make the right decision |
|
He has no crystal ball |
|
But he sees the future |
|
Doesn't like what he sees, but what can he do |
|
Little girl passes by with a baby in her arms |
|
He thinks it's her mother's |
|
But no, it is her own |
|
She's only twelve years old for crying out loud |
|
With his trembling finger |
|
He wipes away the tears |
|
If this is the future, he doesn't wanna be part of it |
|
Chorus |
|
The world is changing |
|
Take a time, look around |
|
Make the right decision |
|
Old man sitting by the side of his bed. |
|
When he goes to sleep tonight |
|
He won't have no sweet dreams |
|
He'll be haunted by ghosts from the future |
|
Welcome to the future. |
