9 - The Future

voice: Rachael Charbonneau
trumpet: Carter Umpherson
saxophone: Allan Walsh
baritone guitar: Matt Foy

Once upon I was too clever
To converse about the weather
On the downside of never never
We are
Might we hitch our fading stars together?

Forget the future that you heard about
Good and evil having it out
Here's some gospel where you might begin
The planet wins
The planet wins
Forget the future that is nightmare red
But happens only after you're dead
Stick to your guns or swallow your pride
Either way the planet decides
Either way the planet decides
Either way the planet decides

Money makers stoke the war flames
Think the world is laid out for them
Now we must break their laws to thwart them
For love
Does not place one kind above another

Forget the future that you heard about
Good and evil having it out
Here's some gospel where you might begin
The planet wins
The planet wins
Forget the future that is nightmare red
But happens only after you're dead
Stick to your guns or swallow your pride
Either way the planet decides
Either way the planet decides
Either way the planet decides

Blue chip thugs
Lazy profit chasers
Joy riders, joy riders
Who would keep us in their barless cages

Hitch our fading stars together
