They saw us coming from miles away Jubilant train Wearing feathers like an exotic bird Double-headed, breathing smoke Looking for a line to quote, waiting to jump the rope To change the vote, to witness hope in the newest thing, called "freedom" But they said, "No way," and they wore the same coats, khaki-brown and faded Typed at the same machines and tried to box up all the dreams in neat little packages Like widgets for the factory All the while Watching Big Brother watching Big Brother watching "But we are crashing gates, and we are passing over the gate keepers" We are the new And we are marching like a jubilant train through your towns Past your landscapes of lame ducks Past the lines of indifference Past the stormtroopers of compromise The deputies of damage control The officers of fear As they hand out their tickets to the deaf and the dumb and the younger ones To the very old, the influential, the disturbed, the zealots, the sheltered, the innocent As we take another ride down the blackened hall You enter into space in the place to go Back to the beginning of it all Like the dawning of a new age Like the turning of a new page Like the birth of a new son Like freedom on a roll Wearing nothing but a smile on our faces and our hands up in the air (It was all of us) (It's so full of stars, so full of stars, so full of stars) 'Cause it's a future love song we cannot describe It's just a future love song that We cannot describe You know, a future love song that We can never describe It's just a future love song that We can never abide We're stuck in a future Love song, and there's no Ending in sight Your future
