Josh Joplin Group

Josh Joplin Group was an American Georgia-based folk rock band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, catchy melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung"). more »

Will you come back and be our hero and release us? 
And if so, will you get your own show? 
And we'll be saved and well-behaved 
And you'll be famous 

Here's to the future that was 
Everything you thought it'd be but 
Was it anything you thought of? 
Here's to the future that was

You were enlightened but you weren't very honest

Here's to the future that was 
Everything you thought it'd be but 
Was it anything you thought of? 
Here's to the future that was 

Samuel, your son is quite a handful 
His grades are bad, he can't do math, 
And he tends to ramble 
Our tests show that he's a bit slow 
If he receives the help he needs 
He'll ride the same bus 

Here's to the future that was 
Everything you thought it'd be but 
Was it anything you thought of? 
Here's to the future that was
