Westbrook - What's Next? Lyrics

Back in the day they painted skies so blue
Promised flying cars and cities brand new
We dreamed of robots every home a space-age scene
But here we are lost somewhere in between

In the '50s they preached a bright wholesome life
Nuclear family man and his wife
Values carved in stone promises so grand
But here we are trying to understand
What's next as the dream slips through our hands?

What's next now that tech is king?
Cell phones in pockets computers sing
AI tech is ready to guide our fate
But is this the world we thought we'd create?
What's next are we ready to break or elevate?

They thought the future would free us all
Yet we're bound to screens feeling small
Somewhere between progress and the cost
Is the dream alive or is it lost?
What's next with the lines we've crossed?

What's next now that tech is king?
Cell phones in pockets computers sing
AI tech is ready to guide our fate
But is this the world we thought we'd create?
What's next are we ready to break or elevate?

Flying cars and unity never came
Now we're chasing profits and shifting blame
A I on the rise and futures sold
But will we trade our hearts for digital gold?
What's next will we grow bold?

Look back on dreams that led us here
What would they say if the future was near?
In a world of screens do we still hold the key?
Or is humanity just a memory?
What's next for you and me?

What's next now that tech is king?
Cell phones in pockets computers sing
AI tech is ready to guide our fate
But is this the world we thought we'd create?
What's next will we break or elevate?
