We got people workin’ 9 to 5 While over 10 percent are trying to stay alive Is this the future? Crime is up, education is down But the Dow Jones is on the rebound Is this the future? Ronald Reagan says "stay the course" But only a fool would wanna endorse This kind of future Everyday, as I go my way I can hear the people as they say “Hey brother can you spare a dime I don’t wanna end up doin’ time” But they say it’s just a sign of the future Found a car that I thought I’d buy But the interest rates were just too high Is this the future? Worked years perfecting my craft Now my boss is giving me the shaft Is this the future? Used to eat steaks and caviar Now it’s peanut butter in a candy bar Is this the future? All my money is nearly spent Don’t have enough to pay the rent You can cancel the future Everyday, as I go my way I can hear the people as they say “Hey brother can you spare a dime I don’t wanna end up doin’ time” But they say it’s just a sign of the future Can it be? Are you tellin’ me This is the future? Can it be? Are you tellin’ me This is the future, future? Can it be? Are you tellin’ me This is the future? Can it be? Are you tellin’ me This is the future, future? Is this a sign of the future? (Oooohh, aaahh, can't be that for me, no) Is this a sign of the future? (Oh, can't deal like this no more) They say that's what it is, what it is (Can't be, not for me, no no) Is this a sign of the future? (Oh no no, can't live like this, no) Is this a sign of the future? (Oooohh-aaahh, can't live like this no more, no no) They say that's what it is, what it is Is this a sign of the future? (Ooooww, hey, ain't gonna be that for me, no) [vocoder] It's the sign, baby Is this a sign of the future? (Ooh, baby) They say that's what it is, what it is (Ooh, you better tell me something else, no) Is this a sign of the future? (I can't live like this no more) (Yeah, I expect something else to be gettin' on) [vocoder] It's the sign, baby Is this a sign of the future? (Heyy, baby) They say that's what it is, what it is (Ooh, not for me) Is this a sign of the future? (Oooohh-aaahh, I need more than this, hey-yeah) [vocoder] It's the sign, baby Is this a sign of the future? (Oooohh-aaahh) They say that's what it is, what it is (I can't live like this no more...)
