lyrics

In the future we'll all live in zoos and our families will come to greet us
Saying what you doing here in the zoo, what's your life like now

Are you able to walk down the street, are you able to hear?
Do you still remember my name, is it in your will?

Once we were all ten years old, free and running wild
But soon we'll be the winkled people who do too many drugs

I'll be a freak in a big glass box, locked up with all my friends
So watch me age right here right now, before they take me away

My grandma fell down the other day, now she has a black eye
Lying there she called for help, but no one was around

Already I am 26, and still that's not enough
And every year comes sooner than you think and the zoo waits for you

So chain me to some oxygen, and force me to choose life
Cut me open and do what it takes, but don't ever let me die

In the future, In the future, In the future, In the future....

In those future zoos
