About Future World

"Future World" is a song and a single made by the German heavy metal band Helloween taken from the album Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I. It is performed frequently by Helloween and Gamma Ray at their concerts, and is usually used for crowd participation, usually with the crowd singing the first verse, sometimes after the singer shouts the first phrase. Also there is a certain "game", that when the band jams, the singer signals the crowd to shout: "We all live in future world" a few times near the end of the song. The single cover is a homage to the comic book anti-hero Judge Dredd.

If you're out there all alone 
And you don't know where to go to 
Come and take a trip with me to Future World 
 
And if you're running through your life 
And you don't know what the sense is 
Come and look how it could be, in Future World 
 
We all live in happiness our life is full of joy 
We say the word "tomorrow" without fear 
The feeling of togetherness is always at our side 
We love our life and we know we will stay 
  
'Cause we all live in Future World 
A world that's full of love 
Our future live will be glorious 
Come with me, Future World 
 
You say you'd like to stay, 
But this is not your time 
Go back, find your own way to Future World 
 
Life can be for living 
Just try and never give in 
Tell everyone the way to Future World 
 
One day you'll live in happiness 
With a heart that's full of joy 
You'll say the word "tomorrow" without fear 
The feeling of togetherness will be at your side 
You'll say you love your life and you'll know why 

'Cause we all live in Future World 
A world that's full of love 
Our future live will be glorious 
Come with me, Future World 

Scream it out 
 
'Cause we all live in Future World 
A world that's full of love 
Our future live will be glorious 
Come with me, Future World
