I never thought my chances of contentment would be determined by a transistor Sometimes it brings about resentment-still, I'm plugged in all the way 'Cause every gadget's an extension of my motives and my ego And now that I am totally invested I'd be a fool to not upgrade Could this be the future? I can feel it catching up to me Could this be the future? With so many possibilities Yes, this is the future I never to the naysayers 'cause it's only sour grapes The scientists are listening to my prayers-they have always saved the day Could this be the future? I can feel it catching up to me Could this be the future? Spinning faster and eternally Yes, this is the future You say the chances are slim that we can break on through You say the future looks dim-it isn't up to you I buy the future each day on my credit card It's built right into my brain, so it is never far Built into your brain, never far Could this be the future? I can feel it catching up to me Could this be the future? May it last for an eternity Yes, this is the future
