Future/Now (Rob Tyner) Lyrics

The screeching, useless martyrs
Hanging naked upon the cross, yeah
They would have you believe
By the lies they shriek that all is lost, yeah

Forget their logic of desperation
Utilize your imagination
The future's here right now
If you're willing to pay the cost yeah!

The power crazy leaders
Who control your very fate (huh!)
They would twist your will
Steal your life and sell your soul away, yeah

If you're drifting or wandering lost
You're the perfect target for the double cross
Freedom's yours right now
If you rule your own destiny, yeah

Here he comes, cosmopolitan enemy, yeah
Yes and here they come, interstellar diplomats, yeah

Some say the truth is meant to be hidden
Others maintain that nothing is forbidden
The key to the mystery...

And as our mind explodes in a post atomic dawn
The future breaks like a tidal wave, engulfing everyone
Confusion and chaos, trauma of birth
A strange new day for the people of the earth
Traditions burned away by the rising sun
