Once a beautiful
miss america
married mr. right
Had a little baby girl
born on a stormy night
But that was once upon
a time now it's a brand
new world
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future
with a modern girl
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future
with a modern girl
Somewhere just between
the past and somethin'
dawnin' new
There's a break in the chain
there's a skip in the clock
Girl that's where
I'm gonna find you
Between the boy
I was before and
what I'm gonna be
There's a clash on the border
a flame in the sky
Girl that's where
you're gonna find me
Can't you hear
the planet groanin'
like a broken down machine
Rusted with the guilty tears
of fallen kings and queens
But you and I stand innocent
baby it's a brand new world
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future
with a modern girl
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future
with a modern girl
We're the son
and the daughter
on a new freeway
Laughin' while the road
maps blow away
We're the son and
the daughter
and we ain't afraid
Won't be makin'
the mistakes our
fathers made
oh gimme the future
with a modern girl
oh gimme the future
with a modern girl
Once a beautiful
miss america
married mr. right
Had a little baby boy
born on a stormy night
But that was once upon
a time now it's a brand
new world
Gimme the future
gimme the future
gimme the future
with a modern girl. . .
gimme the future
with a modern girl. . .
Oh gimme the future
with a modern girl. . .
Oh gimme the future
with a modern girl. . .
We're the son
and the daughter
on a new freeway
Laughin' while the road
maps blow away
We're the son and
the daughter
and we ain't afraid
Won't be makin'
the mistakes our
fathers made.
