Luc Burner - I Miss the Future Lyrics

I miss the future
I miss the future I saw

I miss the future I used to see
The work/pay congruency
The best friends that didn't cast a ballot for hate
The harmony was "Hall and Oates"
A narrative of stolen quotes
Taken from the Rolling Stone
The king of magazines
The sparkle didn't stop to squint
The soul collapsed but didn't quit
Youth was more than just a blip in time
The beef was never over-cooked
The recreation over-booked
Optimism overtook the corners of the mind

I miss the future
I miss the future I saw

Algorithms didn't rule
Bullets didn't hit the schools
Things that I considered cool
Never fell from grace
The church was blessed with sacred love
And wasn't trying to make a buck
We could always make enough to
To rectify the state
My brothers got degrees and left
The United States of debt
Broke the rules but didn't step
A foot inside a cell
My sisters got to see the sun
And we exchanged a kiss and hug
I saved enough to see for once
My mother doing well

The sun set the mood right
To spend the day poolside
I wasn't wishing for a new life
And the end of my own
The sun set the mood right
To spend the day poolside
I miss the future
I miss the future I saw

The decline of military attacks
Less personal opinions presented as facts
The abusive corporate collusion was halted
Clean water ran through all American faucets
All the boys and men could cry
Society was color blind
It was commonplace to find compassion
Women didn't have to cook
And women didn't have to look
One specific way to feel attractive
The atmosphere was cooling down
The lithospheric underground
Couldn't make an earthquake and devastate homes
I didn't have the wonder if
It could've been the government
The news channel used just to
Supplement the hoax

I miss the future
I miss the future I saw
I miss the future
I miss the future I saw

Raised in a box being constantly shook
You can never take what it took
To look like this to feel this good
After being constantly shook
To look like this to feel this good
You can never take what it took
Resilience and strength you can not take what it took
From being constantly shook look

I miss the future
