The Future Used To Be Better
TV Smith

The sights I've seen, the things I've heard

While sliding down the learning curve

Their contract promised me the earth

Through toothy grins and weasel words

With normal jobs and normal lives

They force us to this compromise

Where labour lives and leisure dies

And most of us get by

But I remember the future used to be better

I still remember, the future used to be better

Now voyager, what's left?

You moved so fast you missed the best

And all you got was out of breath

You could call that success

But I remember the future used to be better

Do you remember? The future used to be better

Go on, admit it - you know you want to see

All those blank pages in my diary

I'm long on patience, short on cash

My car and my computer crashed

I'm halfway there and halfway back

The world pissed on my purple patch

The light's blocked out, now nothing grows

They've dumbed me down with news and soaps

The end result of all my hopes -

Paper cuts from the edge of the envelope

But I remember

When the future used to be better
