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 the final fire drill And if you won't sing the anthem They'll go find someone else who will They're crackin' 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 the 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 The wolf held by the ears It's the man behind the curtain It's the way of our 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
