The Future
Look at you, all having fun
Trapped inside your bubble
Secure in life, you feel no harm
And out the way of trouble
The dancing, goofy getting down
And having so much fun
Raving hard all through the night
Until the rising sun
Without a care, without a thought
You're out of your mind
But what about things forgotten
The others are left behind
The real world carries on
Atrocities and deprivation
While you're living in a bubble
Within a very privileged nation
Forget about disasters
Forget the huge earthquake
While parties, bars and clubs and friends
Good times you always make
You say it's just the way it is
There's nothing you can do
Forgetting all the things that can be done
To help the helpless few
But few they're not, the years go by
Their numbers, they will grow
Famine, disease and suffering, the have-nots always know
That they may die, or lose their luck
It is a helpless cause
While you enjoy the good times
On the high life you engorge

I see the future
Might not be what you like
You rape the planet now
You have to pay the price
[repeat]

Social network, internet
For you to make new friends
Facebook, Twitter, Myspace
Oh the fun will never end!
With tweets and posts and tags you make
About good times you've had
Forget about what's going on
Forget about what's sad
Well there's so much that we're not doing
So much that we could do
By shaking up, making a stand
Voicing a point of view
By taking notice of the facts
See what's going on
Then react upon those things we see
To change the things that's wrong
So smell the coffee, get a grip
You know we must wake up
Open our eyes, open our ears
To change the rotton luck
Of those folk who are suffering
Not fortunate like us
It's not too late to make a stand
And for us to do our stuff
A difference in the world is needed
And it can still be made
Outside this bubble in which we're trapped
Blinded by the rave
So get involved, do something now
We have to lend a hand
For you are not an ostrich
Take your head out of the sand

I see the future
Might not be what you like
You rape the planet now
You have to pay the price
