[Intro]
Abandon all hope, ye politicians who enter here
Baring their teeth, the children of the night
Rip themselves, rip themselves free
Into the future, uncaged
Future, unchained
Future
[Verse 1]
In the city of tomorrow, in a world of confusion
Lightning Rose is transfixed in light
Stayin' at streetside, singing about tomorrow
Hunting for the future and hungry for the sight
And she had vision, oh God, the visions
Hear me! Listen!
Today is not like yesterday
Yesterday the hunters chased a lamb
Today they face the tiger
Today they face the whirlwind
And she's a guide through the chaos, a road to the passion
Between the earth and sky where love is like a drug
And as she looks into the windows of heaven
The windows of heaven into the eyes of God
[Chorus]
She is free, free, free
Free, free, free, untamed
All our lives in the whirlwind
Blowin' free, free, free
To trample the souls of these grim Republicans into the dust of hell
[Verse 2]
She had visions of God, visions of technology
Visions of science, visions of her and me
On the way to the world, the way to the wheel
On the way to evolution
Take me, love me, hold me, fuck me, do me!
What do you do when you lose your innocence?
Where do you go for common sense?
Thomas Paine or Carlos or Henry Miller?
Stephen King, Ram Dass, John Dillinger?
She said, "I'll give you the fire
I'll give you the heart
I'll give you the burning desire
To fly with the eagles, to soar like eagles
In the clouds of heaven, see into the windows of heaven
The windows of heaven into the eyes of fuckin' God!"
[Chorus]
Free, free, free
Free, free, free
All of our lives in the whirlwind
Free, free, free (Oh)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
In the theater of the future, the theater of the air
Lady Chaos reigns nearly everywhere
And every spring she wonders, "Is this the last spring?
The spectre of war doesn't do a fuckin' thing
For my psyche or my sense of well-being or my brains
And what're you doin' in politics?
That doesn't rhyme with brains"
I need some visionary action, direct action!
[Verse 3]
Deep in the heart of the darkest forest
A candle burns in the trees
And deep in the heart of the darkest mind
Lies a thought of essential purity
And they pick on the people who can't fight back
Let's see what they do when the wolf bites back
And there's no love without peace, no peace without food
The kids know, it's on the radio
If you wanna fly like an eagle and move the clouds of heaven
See into the windows of heaven into the eyes of God
You gotta be like the little children, like the little children
Be like the little children, have love, love
Love, love, love, love, l-l-l-l-love, and you'll be
[Chorus]
Free, free, free (To sail the whirlwind)
Free, free, free
All our lives in the whirlwind
Blowin' free, rip yourselves free
[Outro]
Into the future!
Future!
Future!
Future! Future!
Ooh
