It's Only a Matter of Time

I'm looking around There's nothing here can slow me down It's feeling like my lucky day Gonna make it and then skate away I'll be on the radio They'll know me everywhere I go It won't be long, they're gonna see I'll be on MTV I'll rock my future A winner, not a loser Nothing anyone can say can make it any other way I've got my future A player, not a cruiser I'll be just what I wanna be Rockin' all the way through history It's feeling like a new day Not another instant replay Gonna finally do it my way Yeah A perfect future For a shaker and a mover Every note is in its place With lots of treble, lots of bass I'll rock my future Could it be any cooler? All I gotta do is play My troubles disappear and go away Elect me Golden Wilson for Mayor My new progress platform means more jobs Lower taxes and bigger civic improvements Vote for me if you want to advance I'll serve you faithfully if you'll give me a chance I believe the future will be brighter than before Hey! When I got started, I was sweeping up the floor 'Cause it's only a matter of time 'Til the bells of prosperity chime We'll be part of a new day, a long overdue day I'll lead us as we make the climb It's only a matter of time (I'm breaking through the fourth wall) A new paradigm so sublime (I'm flying and I can't fall) It's only a matter of, it's just a matter of Outlook, oh so good Yeah Come on now, future Let's hit the turbo booster Buckle up without a care Now you can take it anywhere Write my future (write my future) For Simon and for Schuster The tale of how I came to be A rock 'n' roll biography, yeah But it's only a matter of time (only a matter of) It's only a matter of (yeah, I know) Only a matter of time (I'm gettin' out of here) The greatest future of all (for our future, it's his future) It's only a matter of time
