lyrics

We were watching television looking through our TV eyes
To a future out there somewhere that would take us by surprise
We were hoping for a promise that would lead us by the hand

Lead us straight to the Futureland

We were gathered in the classroom dreaming of our ideal homes
going back to little houses we must wait until we're grown
We were sitting by the TV given things to make and do
every day our dreams were ended by the early evening news

Lead us straight to the Futureland

Well it's forty years later we're still watching our TVs
did we get what we had hoped for or forgotten all our dreams?
We may have swapped our playhouse for a different set of keys
but we're locked inside a nightmare and it's called reality
We were hoping for a promise that would lead us by the hand

Lead us straight to the Futureland
