MC5 - Future/Now Lyrics

Screechin' useless martyrs hangin' naked upon the cross, yeah
They would have you believe the lie
They shriek that all is lost, yeah
Forget their logical desperation, utilize your imagination
The future's here right now if you're willing to pay the cost, yeah

The power crazy leaders who control your very fate
They would twist your will, steal your life and sell your soul away, yeah
If you're drifting or wandering lost
You're the perfect target for the double cross
Freedom's yours right now, if you rule your own destiny, yeah

Here he comes, the cosmopolitan enemy, yeah
Yes sir, here they come, the interstellar diplomats, yeah
Some say the truth was meant to be hidden
Others maintain nothing is forbidden
The key to the mystery, yeah

And our mind explodes in a post atomic dawn
The future breaks like a tidal wave, engulfing everyone
Confusion and chaos, trauma of birth
A strange new day for the people of the
Earth traditions, burned away, by that rising sun
