The Future Freaks Me Out Lyrics
And now I think I’m ready
to bust a move
Check it out I’m rockin steady
Listening to modern rock
How she hates to be alone
I try to compensate
Her lack of love with coffee cake
Ice cream and a bottle of ten dollar wine
She says hey, I rock the haro sport
I rock the cowgirl blues
I rock too fast for love I’m footloose in my velcro shoes
What’s up with will and grace
I don’t get drum and bass
The future freaks me out
and now I think I’m ready
to bust a move
Check it out I’m rockin steady
To the beat in my head that goes oh oh oh oh
I know that she’s the only one
I’d rather waste our time together
Yeah cause we can get down
Carving question marks in my wrist
How come we’re so alone
We waste away the days
With nicotine and television samples
From an era we hate to admit we embrace
We fail to represent
We fail to be content
We fail at everything we ever even try to attempt
and so the story goes
As only betty knows
It’s time to take control
I need you
I miss you
I’m so alone
Without you
To call up
On the weekends
With my cellular phone
Betty it’s so hard to relate
To the whole human race
I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know where to begin
If we could both find a way
To do the things that we say
We might not sit in our rooms
And drink our daydreams away
Betty I’m a dreamer
No I’m not a vicious schemer
Oh betty won’t you-oh, fuck it
The fact he uses a name like Betty makes the song even better.
betty is such a cool vintage name. it makes me think of bettie Page. I really like it motion city soundtrack...amazing sound and amazing live.
I concur with DF Ash, the whole "call you on my cellular phone" thing is sort of like trying to force yourself to assimilate into this new era but it doesnt exactly feel right, because you wanna just be back as an angsty 80s child again. oh ps: rock steady was a song by 70s/80s rock band Bad Company.
and as has been previously stated, there a ton of other 80s references juxtaposed with allusions to more modern culture strengthening the idea that all of a sudden the singer's grown up and he misses all the things he loved as a teenager and yeah basically this song kicks ass
Such a fun song to just sing along to and rock out with. You will be singing this song for days and days. I have heard great things about their live show and I hope they tour the West Coast again sometime soon.
i. love. this. song. it just screams fun and kickass and eeeeee. it really, really does.
I saw Motion City Soundtrack Friday night in Birch Hill with the All American Rejects and Flashlight Brown. All the bands were really good, but MCS kicked. It was so hott they were amazing, and this song was definately their best performance that night.
cosmic, i'm jealous. my friend+i tried to get in that show. but it was sold out and no one wanted to give us tickets. we went to hot hot heat next door. which kicked an insane amount of ass.
I haven't heard a kickass song like this in a while. I went to see them with AAR too and they were awesome. Especially when the keyboardist jumps around on the keyboard..
THEY SOUND LIKE "THE REUNION SHOW", OR "OK GO"...I SUGGEST YOU GUYS LISTEN TO THEM TOO.
