Welcome to the Future

When I was ten years old I remember thinking how cool it would be When we were goin' on an eight hour drive If I could just watch TV And I'd-a given anything To have my own Pac-Man game at home I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade And now I've got it on my phone Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah Welcome to the future My grandpa was in World War II He fought against the Japanese He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma Mailed them from his base in the Philippines I wish they could see this now The world they saved has changed, you know 'Cause I was on a video chat this morning With a company in Tokyo Hey, every day's a revolution Welcome to the future (Hey) Look around, it's all so clear (Hey) Wherever we were goin', well we're here (Hey) So many things I never thought I'd see Happening right in front of me I had a friend in school Running back on the football team They burned a cross in his front yard For asking out the homecoming queen I thought about him today And everybody who's seen what he's seen From a woman on a bus To a man with a dream Hey, wake up Martin Luther Welcome to the future Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah Welcome to the future
