Living In the Future

I know all of my exits

I'm always plannin' my escape

It's the most aggressive symptom

Of this collective phantom pain

And the more that you ignore it

The more it makes you go insane

Just look around

It's the battle of the passwords

It's the trumpets on the hill

It's that constant paranoia

It's that final fire drill

And if you won't sing the anthem

They will find someone else who will

They're cracking down

We're livin' in the future

So shine a little light

It may not make it any better

I'm just hopin' that it might

I'm not talkin' 'bout forever

How 'bout just gettin' through the night?

We're livin' in the future

So shine a little light

I'm always lookin' over shoulders

Not knowin' what I'm lookin' for

Now that they're feelin' someone's watchin'

Isn't just a feelin' anymore

Now that both sides of the aisle

Are this good at keepin' score

We've crossed a line

But there's a madness to the method

There's a market for the fear

It's that dance out on the razor's edge

A wolf held by their ears

It's the man behind the curtain

It's the way of all frontiers

Since the dawn of time

We're livin' in the future

So shine a little light

It may not make it any better

I'm just hopin' that it might

I'm not talkin' 'bout forever

How 'bout just gettin' through the night?

We're livin' in the future

So shine a little light

We're livin' in the future

So shine a little light

It may not make it any better

I'm just hopin' that it might

I'm not talkin' 'bout forever

How 'bout just gettin' through the night

We're livin' in the future

So shine a little light
