The future is the past

And it will last for as long as its lasted

Every time I get plastered

I see stars

opening inside of me

We were all once a part of distant galaxies

And I swear

When the universe ends I'll be there

'Cos I wanna see what love looks like

when it's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air

You know it's funny how the people say the world is changed,

Just like, Saying that stranger's are kind of strange

Just like, Saying that water is kind of wet

It's like, Saying that Elvis is kind of dead

It's evident to anyone with half a brain that things change,

Thats why books have more than one page,

That's why me and my grandfather arent the same age,

just why New Kids On The Block are not rockin' on Triple-J

But, the more things change, the more they stay the same

Same old girls, same wars, same games

Sure, there's climate change, and there's terrorists and AIDS

But we used to have the nazis

And that was way way way worst

But things get bad, then get better,

Before I started eating bree, I used to eat cheddar

The world is always gonna change, only love stays the same,

Like I say in the refrain

The future is the past

And it will last for as long as its lasted

Every time I get plastered

I see stars

opening inside of me

We were all once a part of distant galaxies

And I swear

When the universe ends I'll be there

'Cos I wanna see what love looks like

when it's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air

When I died, I got them to cryogenically freeze me

Believe me, it cost four millions, that's cheap

To see the future, see infinity,

I thought I had proven the truth to man's divinity

But I discovered, I was poor like a chimney sweep,

The richest man is just a tramp in a scheme of things

Up there in the future, it wasn't much fun,

Just a bunch of frozen businessman dreaming of a refund

"Gimme back my money", They were yellin',

Calling for the manager,

They were used to those credit card advantages

But MasterCard can't change the past, can it?

No kind of plastic is worth shit on a dead planet

The whole place was cold like you wouldn't believe

Just dead rocks in a dried up sea

Just like times gone by

Just like five fuckin' billion BC

The future is the past

And it will last for as long as its lasted

Every time I get plastered

I see stars

opening inside of me

We were all once a part of distant galaxies

And I swear

When the universe ends I'll be there

'Cos I wanna see what love looks like

when it's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air

Instrumental

the meek shall inherit the earth, they're fine

Don't have to fight for that shit

Just have to bide your time

Keep quiet, don't write any rhymes if you can help it

'Cos I'm sure god favors the silent, not the violent,

Maybe the vibrant, definitely firemen

Maybe the prime mister if he sticks to his assignment

To lead wisely and not be divisive

And while I'm on the subject,

God, can you make him bring back human rights

All right, fine, this is not a diatribe

Just an ordinary rhyme about extraordinary times

Hey, digital natives, on a love super highway

Who come my way leaving mails and just fly away

How good is that? I guess it's not all bad

Crap, shit, fuck!

We can still make positive tracks,

Cut them on wax, under the full moon,

Burry 'em for a month,

And deep fry that to make, to make beats fat

Fatter and better, that's my motto,

Like specto said: back to mono, before you went loco

chatter for chatters say that's the game,

So I write rhymes that don't nessecerely mean a thing

Sometimes, this time I write a rhyme I can't deny

I lie awake at night and recite the diatribe

I'm alive and inspired to write rhymes or die tryin'.

The future is the past

And it will last for as long as its lasted

Every time I get plastered

I see stars

opening inside of me

We were all once a part of distant galaxies

And I swear

When the universe ends I'll be there

'Cos I wanna see what love looks like

when it's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air
