lyrics

The Moon is shining but there's no base in sight
The machines have not risen but men continue to fight
this computer sits on my lap,
When it should be the size of a room
New York City is not a prison

Where are the flying cars that you promised me,
don't have a robot to make my bed.
Jules Verne was right about the submarine,
but talking dolphins are not my friend.
I communicate just like Captain Kirk,
but there's no one to beam me away.
Still we search for a better tomorrow
When we're looking back at today

I have an avatar, but where is my holosuite
War is supposed to be over and no poverty
We don't dress in jumpsuits
and we haven't seen World War Three
The mall isn't filled with Zombies

Where are the flying cars that you promised me,
don't have a robot to make my bed.
Jules Verne was right about the submarine,
but talking dolphins are not my friend.
I communicate just like Captain Kirk,
but there's no one to beam me away.
Still we search for a better tomorrow
When we're looking back at today

I'm not the last man on earth there is no wasteland
We have Flat TV's but not for conveying our plans
There is no telepathy, We still eat food there's no Soylent Green
There's no underwater city

Where are the flying cars that you promised me,
don't have a robot to make my bed.
Jules Verne was right about the submarine,
but talking dolphins are not my friend.
I communicate just like Captain Kirk,
but there's no one to beam me away.
Still we search for a better tomorrow
When we're looking back at today
