Testo Living in the Future - Live - John Prine
Testo della canzone Living in the Future - Live (John Prine), tratta dall'album John Prine (Live)
When I first started writing this song
It was supposed to be about the future
But it took me seven years to finish it
So at best it's about the present
I'm sure Gene Dixon has days like that too
Jehoshaphat the mongrel cat
Jumped off the roof today
Some say he fell but I could tell
He did himself away
His eyes weren't bright like they were the night
We played checkers on the train
Well God bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
But he's a dead cat just the same
We are living in the future
I'll tell you how I know
I read it in the paper
Fifteen years ago
And we're all driving rocket ships
And talking with our minds
And wearing turquoise jewelry
And standing in soup lines
We're standing in soup lines
Well Jake the barber's lonely daughter
Went down to her daddy's shop
She plugged herself to a barber pole
And took a little off the top
There was pressure on the left
And pressure on the right
And pressure in the middle of the hole
I'm going to Maine on a forty foot crane
I'm gonna use it for a fishing pole
We are living in the future
I'll tell you how I know
I read it in the paper
Fifteen years ago
And we're all driving rocket ships
And talking with our minds
And wearing turquoise jewelry
And standing in soup lines
We're standing in soup lines
Old Sarah Brown sells tickets down
At the all night picture show
Where they grind out sex and they rate it with an X
Just to make a young man's pants grow
No tops no bottoms just the hands and feet
Scream the posters out on the street
Strangling the curious and the weak
Hell we give 'em what they want to see
Oh hell we give 'em what they want to see
Oh we are living in the future
I'll tell you how I know
I read it in the paper
Fifteen years ago
And we're all driving rocket ships
And talking with our minds
And wearing turquoise jewelry
And standing in soup lines
We're standing in soup lines
We're standing in soup lines
