The Future Is X-Rated Lyrics
There's holes up in the sky
the devil punched down to the monkeys
and now they've got drive through
and a video store where there used to be real live actors
used to ride around here
up on my high horse
with all the other good little butcher boys
a plagiarist of course
so roll over sweet thing
like a nuclear reprisal inbound from outer space
there's a comparison here I'm trying to swing
god damn it's deafening
wish you'd shut up about everything
the future is x-rated
there's holes up in the sky
and no one's seen your son in days
and things just keep getting weirder and weirder
and now christmas is for shopping
and the shopping god is everything
so roll over and lose it
'cause power is just another one of those things baby
it's pointless if you ain't gonna use it
god damn it's deafening
wish you'd shut up about everything
the future is x-rated
used to ride around here on my high, high horse
god damn it's deafening
wish you'd shut up, shut up, shut up
the future is x-rated
the future is x-rated
the future is x-rated
the future is x-rated
the devil punched down to the monkeys
and now they've got drive through
and a video store where there used to be real live actors
used to ride around here
up on my high horse
with all the other good little butcher boys
a plagiarist of course
so roll over sweet thing
like a nuclear reprisal inbound from outer space
there's a comparison here I'm trying to swing
wish you'd shut up about everything
the future is x-rated
and no one's seen your son in days
and things just keep getting weirder and weirder
and now christmas is for shopping
and the shopping god is everything
so roll over and lose it
'cause power is just another one of those things baby
it's pointless if you ain't gonna use it
wish you'd shut up about everything
the future is x-rated
wish you'd shut up, shut up, shut up
the future is x-rated
the future is x-rated
the future is x-rated
the future is x-rated

So what is the world coming to???
An amazing song. Unfortunately, the point it raises is true. The world's become a technological, godless wasteland of human error.
Easy enough, the world is headed downhill as we are soon to be living in post apocaliptic times.
The video is awesome, you can even download it with some other on his website: www.matthewgood.net (currently closed since he's on vacation)
This song sends shivers down my spine when he sings 'GOD DAMN IT'S DEAFENING' and I love the 'There's holes up in the sky' it just makes you think it's the end of the world or something. And then it seems to comment on our corrupted societal behaviour. There's the phone sex at the end of the song, the lyric 'and now christmas is for shopping, and the shopping god is everything' and 'power's just another one of those things baby, it's pointless if you ain't gonna use it'. Just killer song, man.
One of the most amazing songs ever...it's absolutely chilling.
I think this is the most cryptic part of the song, can anyone help decipher it?

I think this song is a statement about modern pop culture and the direction it is headed in.
