[01:30.77]I can remember when this was the future
[01:35.29]Where it was gonna be at then
[01:39.10]Why don't we turn the whole bloody lot down
[01:42.81]And make a new start all over again?
[01:46.31]
[01:47.00]I can recall utopian thinking
[01:50.58]Bold mission statements and tightening of belts
[01:54.45]Demolition of familiar landmarks
[01:58.28]Promises made and deals that were dealt
[02:01.53]
[02:02.28]This used to be the future
[02:08.93]Where it was gonna be at then
[02:16.71]Let's turn the whole bloody lot down
[02:24.10]And start all over again
[02:30.63]
[02:32.17]But that future was exciting
[02:37.66]Science fiction made fact
[02:41.51]Now all we have to look forward to
[02:45.64]Is a sort of suicide pact
[02:47.83]
[02:49.09]Was it the dear old future
[02:52.11]That created the problems we face?
[02:55.81]How do we deal with the fallout
[02:59.84]Of the age we used to call space?
[03:02.89]
[03:10.68]I can remember planning for leisure
[03:14.49]Living in peace and freedom from fear
[03:18.23]Science that promised to make us a new world
[03:22.01]Religion and prejudice disappear
[03:25.44]
[03:26.14]I can remember when this was the future
[03:29.60]Where it was gonna be at back then
[03:33.23]Now religion and nuclear energy have united
[03:37.06]To threaten, oh God! Amen
[03:40.74]
[03:41.69]This used to be the future
[03:46.34]Where it was at back then
[03:49.46]Now religion and nuclear energy have united
[03:53.91]Oh God! Amen
[03:56.62]
[03:57.51]Was it the dear old future
[04:00.62]That created the problems we face?
[04:04.23]How do we deal with the fallout
[04:08.21]Of the age we used to call space?
[04:11.55]
[04:36.54]This used to be the future
[04:45.71]Where it was at back then
[04:52.61]Let's turn the whole bloody lot down
[04:59.85]And start all over again
[05:07.45]
[05:08.36]Amen
